Quick and Easy Chunky Microwave Maple Cinnamon ApplePear Sauce

Maple syrup adds a nice flavor to the apples and pears. I have actually used a variety of different apples, depending on what I had on hand, with the same great results. The apple/pear sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 6 months.

Quick And Easy Chunky Microwave Maple Cinnamon Apple/Pear Sauce Reviews

• I am the submitter of this recipe. If you want to lessen the calories a little bit more, you can omit the maple syrup and it still comes out great I have even added 1 tsp. apple pie spice instead of the cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup. Its like eating apple pie without the crust. Enjoy

• Great recipe Where I was missing a few ingredients (pears and maple syrup), I changed it a bit. I used the apples I had on hand (3 med Golden Delicious, 10 tennis ball sized Red Delicious), 1/4 cup water, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, and 2 tsp Truvia sweetener. I microwaved it in a Rubbermaid bowl, with the cover loosely placed on top, for the suggested time. It came out smelling and tasting great I will definitely make again. Next time, Ill use the pears and maple syrup.
