The flavor was awesome. I used a sausage with alot of sage seasoning it it. My husband loved it. The apples I think would have been better shredded instead of cut into bits. My daughter thought it was "too juicy" The balls were a tad greasy but that probably was the sausage. Maybe half sausage and half lean ground beef would have taken care of it.
