With the meat mixture, shape a 25 x 10-cm (10 x 4-inch) loaf on the baking sheet. Place the slices of bacon, side by side, diagonally on the loaf to thoroughly coat the meat. Bake for about 1 hour. If you use a meat thermometer, it should read 82 °C (180 °F). Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush with the apple jelly. Finish cooking under the broiler until golden brown.
