Ingredients

  • 9 Apples, different varieties, I used 2 each of pink crisp, red delicious, golden delicious, cameo and a granny smith
  • 1 large very ripe pear, I used a Bartlett
  • 1 qt Pure unsweetened apple juice
  • 1 large pinch ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Chop up apples and pear into small pieces. Discard the cores.
  2. Place the apple pieces in a large saucepan over medium heat.  Pour the apple juice over the chopped fruit just until the pieces are covered.

  3. After about 20 minutes add the cinnamon and stir.
  4. Boil at a medium heat until the fruit is soft and the liquid is absorbed (30-40 minutes)
  5. Let cool for about a half hour and then transfer to a blender or food processor and process until smooth.

  6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
