Keep Screen On Hide

1. 1 Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with olive oil.
2. 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground pork, finely diced apple, beaten egg, rolled oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cinnamon, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
3. 3 Add chopped fresh parsley and unsweetened applesauce. Gently mix all ingredients with hands or spoon until evenly combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain tenderness.
4. 4 Transfer mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing down evenly to form a compact loaf.
5. 5 Bake for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the top is golden brown.
6. 6 Remove from oven and let rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
7. 7 Slice into 6 equal servings. Serve warm alongside steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete, balanced meal. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; perfect for meal prep.
