Time 45m

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds apples, such as McIntosh, Gala, and Braeburn
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 pounds pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
3 tablespoons dark-brown sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel, core, and slice apples.
  • In a large pot, bring apples, lemon juice, pears, ginger, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until apples are very soft and falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Mash with a potato masher or pulse in a food processor until smooth with small chunks remaining. (Add sugar, if using.)
  • Let cool, then transfer applesauce to airtight containers.
