Description

Sweet and savory come together to form a decidedly fall-flavored meatball with a tasty glaze of maple syrup and sweet Bavarian mustard.

Ingredients

18 ounces ground beef
1 large egg
5 tablespoons oats
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup grated apple
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon German stone ground mustard

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Combine ground beef, oats, egg, onion, apple, cream, maple syrup, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic in a bowl; mix until well combined. Roll beef mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
3 Stir together 4 tablespoons maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl and brush meatballs with the glaze.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn meatballs over and baste with glaze. Bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.
