Ingredients

  • apples
    peeled, cored, and diced
    5 unit
  • apple jelly
    1 1/2 cups
  • Grade B Amber maple syrup (Grade A Dark Amber would be okay too)
    1/4 cup
  • freshly squeezed orange juice
    1/4 cup
  • cinnamon stick
    1 unit

Method

1
Combine all ingredients in a microwave safe container. Cover, leaving 1 corner open, and microwave on high 7-8 minutes or until apples are easy to mash.
2
Remove cinnamon stick and discard. For a chunky sauce, use a potato masher. For a slightly smoother sauce, use a hand mixer. For a smooth pureé, use an immersion blender.
