Microwave Maple Cinnamon Apple-Pear Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Microwave Maple Cinnamon Apple-Pear Sauce.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a large microwave-safe bowl and toss in your chopped Cortland apples, Golden Delicious apples, and Bartlett pears.

7. Step 7

   Return the bowl to the microwave and let it cook for another 6 minutes, or until the fruit is beautifully hot and tender.

8. Step 8

   Once it’s done, stir in some maple syrup, mixing it in until everything is well combined and deliciously sweet.

9. Step 9

   Allow your fruit sauce to cool completely before transferring it to the refrigerator.
