Apples and Ground Beef Pasta image

Wasn't sure what to call this. This recipe first came to me from my sister-in-law who said she got it from Weight Watchers. She didn't have exact measurements for most items though so I've worked it into how we like it. It's a lovely dish for cold nights with lovely spicy sweet flavors to compliment the savory meat.

This dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too runny and the pasta was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it! I think I would try using less sugar next time.
