Meatballs Made With Applesauce.

Meatballs made with applesauce.

This recipe will make the meatballs really tender and it will also give your kids another serving of fruits. The applesauce will replace the eggs. 1/4th cup of plain applesauce will replace 1 egg.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1 ½ pounds ground beef, room temperature
½ cup of Italian bread crumbs
¼ cup of applesauce
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of canola oil
½ cup of parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons of grill seasoning, I use a spicy blend since I like a little heat.
Salt and pepper

Put the meat, bread crumbs, applesauce, garlic, canola oil, cheese, grill seasoning, and salt & pepper in a large bowl. Mix meat and form balls about 1 inch in size. Place on a cookie sheet that you have sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Place in oven for 25-30 minutes and if you like a more crispy meatball cook for 30-35 minutes. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce for spaghetti or some meatball subs.

I hope you enjoy this healthy version of meatballs that you can serve your kids.
