Servings: 6
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
2 pounds ground pork
1/2 cup Tree Top Natural Apple Sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Stir maple syrup and mustard together in a small bowl. Set aside. Spray a large non-stick grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and place over medium to medium/high heat.
Mix pork, apple sauce, salt, chili powder, dry mustard, pepper and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl. Form mixture into six patties. Place patties in pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, turn and cook additional 4 to 5 minutes or until done.
To serve, spread bun bottoms with maple mustard mixture. Top each with a patty, spinach leaf and bun top. If desired, toast buns and top with cheddar cheese, grilled onions, pickles, tomatoes or other favorite toppings. Serve with crispy sweet potato fries and steamed beans for an easy but special meal.
