Mix the minced pork, apple, breadcrumbs and egg and then shape into small balls. I use a mini ice cream scoop/cookie scoop to do this as it gives a more uniform size. Place meatballs on a lined baking tray and bake for 15 minutes.
Mix all the ingredients for the glaze together in a large frypan and cook on low until the sugar has dissolved.
Add in the baked meatballs and bring to a simmer.
Simmer the meatballs for approximately 15 minutes until the glaze reduces and thickens and starts to coat the meatballs.
Serve the meatballs on a platter with toothpicks.
