Homemade Apple Pear Sauce

This homemade pear sauce is flavored with vanilla, a hint of apple, and fresh pears. This sauce can be customized to your preferences by varying the flavorings and making it chunky or smooth.

Prep: 15min

Total: 45min

Yield: 9

Serving Size: 1 serving

Nutritional Information: 1 serving contains 68 kcal of calories, 18 g of carbohydrates, 1 mg of sodium, 3 g of fiber, and 11 g of sugar.

Ingredients:

• 6 large ripe-firm pears
• 2 sweet apples (see note)
• 1/3 cup water, apple juice or pear juice
• 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise (optional (see notes))

Instruction:

1. Peel and core the apples and pears. Cut the apples slightly smaller than the pears (the apples will take a little longer to cook, so the difference in size will help them finish cooking at the same time) and the pears into large bite-sized chunks.
2. Bring the apples, pears, water, and vanilla bean to a boil in a medium saucepan. Simmer, covered, for 25–30 minutes with medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. You might need to add more water during the cooking process depending on how much moisture your fruit contains. Add a few tablespoons of water if it seems dry or is sticking to the bottom.
3. Remove the lid after 25 minutes and let the mixture simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes or so, or until the fruit is soft and mashable. Continue to add more water, if necessary. Just let the mixture simmer uncovered until the extra liquid evaporates if you unintentionally add too much water.
4. Remove the vanilla bean and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze the remaining seeds into the applesauce with your fingers, then throw away the pod. Apples and pears can be blended into a smooth sauce using an immersion blender or mashed with a potato masher into a chunky sauce.
