2/3 cup bread 1 slice, lightly toasted then ground into breadcrumbs in the food processor
1/2 cup milk
2 pounds ground pork
1 small yellow onion 3/4 cup, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves chopped
1 large egg lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Apple ketchup or any ketchup you prefer
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. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP SO YOU DON'T GET SOGGY MEATLOAF. To a mixing bowl add the breadcrumbs and milk, and leave for until all the milk is soaked, about 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, to a large bowl add the ground pork, apples, onion, bread, oregano, 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.
