Applesauce Meatballs image

These savory, from-scratch meatballs are always well-received. Folks really like the tangy sauce that uses hot pepper sauce to give the meatballs a little kick. -Betsy Smith, San Diego, California

These meatballs were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them without the applesauce.

I've made these meatballs several times, and they're always a hit. They're perfect for a weeknight meal, and they're also great for parties.

These meatballs were easy to make and tasted great! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and they were still very moist and flavorful.

These meatballs were a bit of a disappointment. They were dry and bland, and the applesauce didn't really add any flavor. I won't be making them again.

Just finished making these meatballs, and they were absolutely delicious! The combination of the applesauce and spices was perfect, and they were so moist and tender. My family loved them, and I will definitely be making them again.
