Instructions
- Place apples, pears, lemon, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and water in a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer and stir often, until apples are completely tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the lemon, cinnamon stick and whole cloves. Let sauce cool slightly. Transfer to a blender and puree until as smooth as desired or mash with a potato masher, depending on whether you want a smooth or chunky consistency.
- Taste the sauce. If you feel it needs to be sweeter, add a teaspoon or two of maple syrup and reheat, stirring constantly, until it dissolves.
- Serve warm, room temperature, or cold. Store in the refrigerator.
