For a richer flavor, use homemade applesauce. You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken for the pork.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meatball mixture for a subtle kick.
If you don't have maple syrup, honey or brown rice syrup can be used as a substitute.
Ensure the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 160°F (71°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.

    I added a bit of ginger to the meatball mixture and it gave it an extra layer of warmth and complexity.

  • Sonia Cormier

    The applesauce keeps the meatballs so moist and tender. A great recipe!
