Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 4 apples (partially peeled (see note))
  • 3 red or black plums (skins left on)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1-2 cinnamon sticks

Instruction

  • Chop the apples and plums into 1-inch pieces, discarding the pits and cores. Place the fruit, maple syrup, water, and cinnamon sticks in a medium sized saucepan.
  • Cover the pot and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and simmer for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If necessary, add a couple more tablespoons of water during the cook time.
  • For a chunkier applesauce, mash with a potato masher or wooden spoon. If you'd like it smoother, puree it in a blender or food processor.
