Wow! I was looking for a variation on the standard sweet meatball recipe -- it seems like everything on here calls for grape jelly & chili sauce or cranberry sauce and chili sauce. But that was just too sweet for my taste. Using the apple butter was perfect! Very sweet -- my 2 year old loves it -- but not disgustingly so that adults run the other direction. I didn't have any liquid smoke, so I added some worcester sauce instead. I also added a bit of leftover marinara sauce and used a can of chopped tomatoes instead of fresh ones. But the meatballs I made from scratch, using ground beef, chopped onion, rice, egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. LOVE IT! Thanks so much for posting this recipe.
