Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds ground pork
2 apples peeled and finely diced
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons ground sage
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425° F. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. You will most likely need more than one if you are going to use the entire 2 1/2 pounds.
Combine all of your spices into a large bowl.
Add in the ground pork. Using your hands, spread the spices onto all of the meat. Then, you can add in the diced apples and combine thoroughly.
Create 30-40 meatballs (about 1-oz each). Spread them evenly on the parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake meatballs in the oven for 25-30 minutes until they appear golden brown.
Serve with your favorite side dish. I prepared mine with zoodles (spiraled zucchini pasta.) Enjoy!

Notes

You could make these with ground chicken instead of pork. If you’d like, you can turn these into patties as well.
