Ingredients
- 125 ml (½ cup) water
- 60 ml (¼ cup) sugar (optional) For young children, it’s better not to add any sugar and give them a chance to discover the real taste of fruit.
- 5 medium size apples, peeled and diced into small pieces
- 4 medium size pears, ripe, peeled and diced into small pieces
Preparation
- In a large pot, combine the water and sugar.
- Add the apples and the pears as they are being cut. Combine. Tip: If you are not using any sugar, you can add a little lemon juice at this step to keep the fruit from turning brown.
- Cook over medium-high heat to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook gently for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very soft (cooking time will vary depending on the variety you are using).
- Once removed from the heat, mash the fruit with the potato masher until desired consistency.
