Steps:
- For Spicy Meatballs, in a large bowl whisk together egg and milk. Add bread. Let stand 10 minutes, just until bread is softened. Add beef, garlic, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly with hands or wooden spoon. Shape beef mixture in 48 one-inch meatballs.
- In a 12-inch skillet heat oil over medium heat. Cook meatballs, half at a time, about 6 minutes per batch, turning occasionally until brown and crusty on outside and no longer pink inside. Transfer meatballs to a covered dish; cover to keep warm. Drain fat from skillet; wipe out skillet.
- For Apple Glaze, in a small bowl combine apple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and cayenne pepper. In same skillet at meatballs were cooked, cook and stir mixture until thickened and bubbly (at full boil). Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Return meatballs to skillet to heat through and coat with sauce. Transfer glazed meatballs to a serving dish. Top with green onions.

Steps:
- In large bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Tear bread slices into bite sized pieces and add to bowl. Stir to coat and let sit 10 minutes. Add ground chuck, garlic, pepper, salt, and cayenne. Make meatballs (I came out with 28).
- Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Cook at 325 F for about 10 minutes. Turn once. Cook an additional 10 minutes. Drain.
- Combine every other ingredient except green onions. Add to a pan and cook until thickened stirring constantly. Pour over meatballs. Add chopped green onions.
- The original recipe called for frying the meatballs, but I like baking them instead and draining off the grease. Use whichever method you prefer.
Tips:
- Use firm, crisp apples for the glaze. This will help them hold their shape and not become mushy.
- Peel and core the apples before grating them. This will remove the seeds and stems, which can make the glaze bitter.
- Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Simmer the meatballs in the glaze for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become tender.
- Serve the meatballs warm. They can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Spicy Apple Glazed Meatballs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, and the glaze is sweet, spicy, and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
