As we approach the Mother’s Day holiday, I’ve been thinking about what my own mother loved. My mom loved the outsides of meats – the outside cut of the roast, the edges on a good meatloaf – so when I made meatloaf for her, I made individual-sized “loafies” so she could have more of the tasty crust.
Along the way, I discovered another benefit: mini loaves also cook much faster! That meant I could have supper on the table in less than an hour, so “Meat Loafies” became my family standard. She loved ketchup, too, so there’s a nice slug of it in the mix. Of course, she always wanted more on the side.
This meatloaf, which includes thyme and a grated tart apple (we prefer Granny Smith in here, hence the name) has a terrific flavor and rustic texture that’s perfect hot or cold.
My mom said so, so you know it’s true!

Meatloaf is always a hit and I like the idea of adding apples to it.

Meatloaf is always comforting and the crust is definitely the best part. Love the idea of adding grated apple.
It helps keep the meatloaf moist when you use a lower fat ground beef. Better nutrition, better taste!
