Apple Pear Sauce With Vanilla And Ginger
Simple, tasty, sugar-free apple/ pear sauce with surprising ginger and vanilla notes that give it a bit of zing. It's great for kiddos if you don't want to feed them the processed stuff.
Hands-up if you love your slow-cooker! This recipe is so simple, it’s redonk. The most annoying part about it is peeling the fruit- if you’re lucky you can sucker someone else into doing it for you, unlike me this time.
We had quite the collection of one-to-two-week old apples and pears in the crisper from our last few veggie boxes. Matt always forgets the fruit is in there and I’m never really like ‘ooh I feel like an apple right now' so there we were.
In my effort to reduce our food waste I decided to throw them all into our crockpot and see what happened. I had a few green and red apples and some yellow pears. A little montley crew of deciduous fruit.
Once those bad boys are peeled, chop them into cubes and throw them into the slow-cooker.
Pour some water in to cover the fruit about 1/3 of the way. Add fresh grated ginger, vanilla, cinnamon and honey (or skip it) and slow-cook on low so you can enjoy the aroma all day (you can cook on high setting if you’re short on time.)
Serve warm on it's own or add the sauce to yogurt, muesli or ice cream. Yum!
Peel and dice apples and pears.
Grate ginger.
Add everything to a slow cooker or crockpot and cook on low or high depending on how much time you have (either way it will yield similar results).
Mash everything with a potato masher to desired consistency. I like mine chunky. You can serve it with yoghurt and Museli, on its own, or with ice cream for dessert!
