Ingredients

• 5 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1½ cups apple jelly
• ¼ cup Grade B Amber maple syrup (Grade A Dark Amber would be okay too)
• ¼ cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
• 1 cinnamon stick

Procedure

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