Apple Pork Meatballs in Creamy Dijon Sauce
Comfort food gets an autumn upgrade with these juicy pork meatballs, made extra tender with grated Cosmic Crisp® apple folded right into the mix. They simmer in a silky Dijon cream sauce brightened with fresh sage and parsley, then get topped with a handful of diced apple for a fresh, crisp finish. It’s the kind of weeknight dinner that feels a little more special without any extra effort.
Featuring Washington Apples
