Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wrap the grated apples in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as you can.

To a mixing bowl add the apples, onion, breadcrumbs, milk, and leave for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes add the ground pork, oregano, basil, sage, egg, salt and pepper.

Mix until everything is well combined.

Turn out onto the baking sheet and mold into a meatloaf shape, about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide.

Top with apple ketchup.

Bake for about 1 hour, or until a thermometer when inserted into the center reaches 165 degrees F.

Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Serve with extra apple ketchup.
