Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds apples
1-1/2 pounds pears
3/4 cup water
1 small lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons honey, or to taste
2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste

Instructions

Peel, core and chop the apples and pears into 1/2-inch chunks.
Place the chopped apples and pears in a medium-large saucepan. Add the water, lemon juice and cinnamon.
Cover and cook over medium-low heat until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the fruit from sticking and/or burning.
With a potato masher crush the fruit coarsely while continuing to cook until the excess water evaporates, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and gently stir in the honey and maple syrup. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
Serve lukewarm or cold.
