Nothing says Fall like apple recipes! One of my favorite dinner combinations involves honey crisp apples and pork. While we all love a good pork chop, I wanted to switch things up this week. I found this pork and apple meatball recipe on my local grocery store’s food blog (which is full of great family-friendly recipes!). HERE is the original recipe.
Why do I love meatballs? Because can carry so much flavor in one bite! Plus these are completely grain and dairy-free, making it a Paleo and Whole30 compliant recipe. I chopped up some fresh sage to add to the fall flavors and made sure to brown them all to perfection prior to baking. One thing about meatballs is, I wish I could taste “the dough” to know if they are seasoned enough before I cook, but I am proud to say that these are spiced to perfection (and when in doubt, another dash of salt won’t hurt).
The original recipe calls for the meatballs to be served on a bed of cauliflower rice. While I enjoy cauliflower rice, I wanted to add some extra green to the dinner, so I chopped up some brussels sprouts and sauteed them until they were soft and a bit charred. Brussels sprouts are the perfect addition to a fall meal, but honestly, I love them all year round.
Enjoy this delicious autumn recipe and let us know what you think!
