For a richer flavor, use homemade applesauce. You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken for the pork. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meatball mixture for a subtle kick. If you don't have maple syrup, honey or brown rice syrup can be used as a substitute. Ensure the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 160°F (71°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.
