Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped Cortland apples, Golden Delicious apples, and Bartlett pears. Add water, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to ensure the fruit is evenly coated. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Tightly cover the bowl with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Cut a 1-inch slit in the center of the plastic wrap to allow steam to escape during cooking. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

Microwave on high for 10 minutes. Carefully remove (using oven mitts!) and discard the plastic wrap. Stir the apple mixture thoroughly. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Microwave on high for another 6 minutes, or until the fruit is hot and tender, and has reached your desired consistency. (Cook time: 6 minutes)

05

Step

Stir in the maple syrup until well combined. Allow the sauce to cool completely before refrigerating. (Cooling time: 30 minutes)

06

Step

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.

For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender after cooking.
Feel free to experiment with different apple and pear varieties based on what you have available.
A squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the flavors and prevent browning.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream.
Consider adding a handful of dried cranberries or raisins for extra texture and flavor.
