Apples mixed with pears make a sweet dessert or snack without any added sugar. Using an electric pressure cooker cuts down on time and seals in the nutrition.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2.25 pounds Golden Delicious apples
- 1.13 pounds red Anjou pears
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
-
1
Fill a large bowl halfway with water. Add lemon juice and mix. Peel, core, and slice apples and pears, putting them in the lemon water to prevent browning.
-
2
Drain fruit; do not rinse. Place drained fruit, 1/4 cup water, and cinnamon stick in a multi-functional electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Set the Manual mode to high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, up to 15 minutes. Unlock lid. Remove and discard cinnamon stick. Pass the cooked fruit through a food mill; sauce will be slightly coarse. Blend fruit with an immersion blender for a smoother sauce.

Real French Crêpes
This no-butter crêpe recipe is one of the first ones that I learned as a child growing up as a French-Canadian in Montreal. The crêpes can be served either in the traditional style with real maple syrup or cold with ice cream rolled into it and chocolate syrup on top for dessert.
Peanut Butter Balls
The recipe for these peanut butter balls came from my 96-year-old neighbor, Mrs. Lucille Savage. She still makes them at Christmas, and now I do, too. Peanut butter balls are always a crowd favorite with a hardened chocolate coating and a smooth, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth peanut butter filling. This recipe delivers an unexpected but delightful crunch, thanks to the addition of crisp rice cereal. Decorate your peanut butter balls with sprinkles or other candy coatings just after dipping, or drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
