Chopped apples add a subtle sweetness and interesting texture to these meatballs, which are served in brown-gravy sauce.

PREPARATION:
In a large bowl, combine ground beef with chopped apple, bread crumbs, egg and onion salt. Divide into 18 to 20 meatballs. Roll each one between your hands to shape into a ball.
