Homemade applesauce is good served over many things—pancakes, waffles, pork, etc.
Ingredients:
6 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks (pink lady, fuji, or macintosh)
2 pears, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks (bosc, comice, anjou, seckel)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a large nonaluminum saucepan; set over medium heat, cover, and bring to a simmer.
2. Cook for about 12 minutes, or until the apples are slightly softened.
3. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally to break up the large pieces, for 7-10 minutes, or until the apples are soft but retain some texture.
4. Taste and adjust the flavor with more maple syrup or lemon juice; let cool and refrigerate.
5. Keeps for about 1 week, covered in the refrigerator.
