Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Cut apples into 1½ inch (3.5 cm) chunks and place in saucepan. Add orange juice and bring to simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes or until apples are very soft.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in blueberries and maple syrup; cook for about 3 minutes or until blueberries are softened.

Tips

  • For a smooth sauce, purée mixture in food processor or using an immersion blender.

  • Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 5 days.

  • Use your favourite apples. For a smoother sauce use McIntosh, Empire or Ida Rred apples. For a firmer apple texture use Northern Spy, Cortland or Crispin apples.
