Step By Step Apple Chicken Meatballs Recipe Directions:

Step 1: Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients to make the meatballs. Divide the mixture into quarters, then separate each quarter into 4 balls. Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients and stir until sunflower seed butter dissolves into ketchup. Remove meatballs from oven and top with sauce, placing a dollop on top of each ball and return to oven for 5-10 min more, or until cooked through.

Step 3: Enjoy your meatballs!
