I had some wheat berries in my cupboard that I was keen to use in a recipe. Rummaging in my fridge i noticed the sausages and fresh sage, so though what better than a stuffing ball kind of bite, so of course a grated apple for a bit of sweetness was a must. This are so delicious. They can be served as they are with my suggested dip or as part of a roast dinner meal.If you cant get wheat berries, then I suggest using bulgur wheat.
