This is a dish my mother has made as long as I can remember for friends, family, and holidays. She was always so proud of this dish. She entered it in a Avon contest and won third place, so it was printed in their cookbook. This recipe was modified from Grandma Kaphingst's friend Ole. The apple is fantastic in the meatballs and the dill sauce just brings the dish alive. It's easy enough to make ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator overnight, and the meatballs also freeze very well.
