Ingredients

Scale

  • 680 grams Pears (about 4 medium pears), peeled, cored, and cut into large chunks
  • 15 milliliters Lemon Juice
  • 1 Vanilla Bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  1. Peel and core the apples and pears. Cut them into large chunks and place them into your slow cooker.

  3. Split the vanilla bean down the middle, scrape the seeds into the slow cooker, and add the empty pods (or add vanilla bean paste).
  4. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the fruit mixture. Add the cinnamon stick, grated ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, and grated nutmeg.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for about 6 hours, or until the fruits are tender.

Notes

  • Serve warm over vanilla ice cream or as a side to roasted meats.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze portions in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
  • If the applesauce is too thick, stir in a little water or apple juice over low heat.
  • For a chunkier texture, mash some of the fruits with a potato masher instead of blending.
