Sunset Apple Loaf

Remember the satisfaction of a meatloaf dinner? Here’s a refreshing twist on the meatloaf theme using tart Granny Smith apples with one of my favorite meatless ground products, Beyond Meat. The flavor profile is enhanced with a touch of cinnamon.

The loaf is served with a mild curry cream sauce and a tasty corn, peppers and edamame succotash. The plate is finished with caramelized potato halves topped with yogurt/scallion sauce. I call this meal “Sunset” Apple Loaf because the sun is still setting before dinner.
