Annabel's Tasty Meatballs

This recipe is from First Meals by Annabel Karmel

My toddler is an extremely picky eater. This is one of the few sources of protein that he actually really likes. The apple in them makes them really quite delicious, so whenever I make up a batch my husband and I also make sure to have spaghetti and meatballs for dinner! These meatballs are fairly easy to make, and they can be stored in the freezer and reheated for about 30-40 seconds for a quick toddler meal! Mine likes his cut up and dipped in ketchup.

In a mixing bowl, combine

1. 1 lb. ground beef
2. 1 onion, finely chopped
3. 1 T chopped fresh parsley (optional)
4. 1 chicken bouillon cube dissolved in 2 T hot water
   
5. 1 small apple, peeled and coarsely grated
6. 1/2 t Worcestershire sauce
7. pinch brown sugar
8. salt and pepper, to taste

Mix thoroughly, then shape into about 24 meatballs. Roll in all-purpose flour to coat, then saute in a little olive oil until browned on all sides and cooked through.
