My mom used to make grape jelly meatballs all the time when I was a kid, it was her go-to appetizer for parties and the one that always got eaten up first. These Apple Cocktail Meatballs take the same concept of that classic recipe and add a seasonal twist your guests will go crazy over!

I can’t believe we’re more than halfway through August, summer feels like it just flew by, more so than usual. And I can tell you that for once, I’m not sure I’m quite ready for “sweatah weathah” but I am ready for all the flavors it brings like apple and pumpkin and maple.

There’s just something about the cozy flavors of fall that I absolutely love (as long as I don’t think about what they do to my waistline) and I love coming up with new ways to use them beyond your traditional baked goods. These meatballs combine the sweetness of apples and spicy chili sauce with a hint of cinnamon and garlic for a party appetizer that hits the spot!

Things You’ll Need for this Recipe:

Crock Pot – This recipe is made in the crock pot and will fit in a 2-quart or larger. I love the smaller ones because they take up less space on the counter at parties.

Meatballs – Make sure the meatballs you use are small Swedish or Italian meatballs, nothing too big since you want them to be bite-sized.

Toothpicks – I love having larger toothpicks or cocktail picks out at parties for easy snacking.
