1 medium apple (such as honeycrisp or fuji), peeled and grated
2 tbsp cassava flour
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp coconut oil

For the pan sauce

1 cup apple cider (unsweetened, no additives)
½ cup bone broth (homemade or aip-compliant brand)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tsp arrowroot starch
1 tbsp cold water

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Grate the apple on the large holes of a box grater, then squeeze the grated apple firmly in your hands over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible — this keeps the meatballs from becoming dense and wet.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground bison, squeezed grated apple, cassava flour, garlic, parsley, thyme, ginger, turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, and salt. Mix with your hands until just combined and uniform — do not overwork the mixture.
