Cinnamon Apple And Pear Sauce

Making apple or pear or apple and pear sauce when the fruits are in season is a delicious way to use these autumnal fruits. And the sauce is delicious as a condiment for roast meats, baking into muffins or snack breads, or even just as a
snack.

Because of the high pesticide load both apples and pears often appear on the Dirty Dozen list so it’s best to buy them organic.

Tip: This recipe is delicious, and, if you don’t peel the apples or the pears, has some fiber for a little extra gut health boost. The Instant Pot softens the peels so they blend well and the sauce will still be smooth.
