Ingredients:

• 3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
• 3 Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
• 1 cup unfiltered apple juice
• 2 tablespoons cognac or brandy
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

In a microwave-safe container with a lid, combine apples with all other ingredients. Put on lid, leaving one corner open to allow steam to escape. Microwave on high for 10 minutes.

Using a hand blender or potato masher, blend to desired consistency. Serve hot immediately or chill for later use.

Makes about 3 cups.

I’m really surprised how good this is. In a pinch, I have made it with just the juice, honey, and cinnamon, skipping the brandy and butter. I’ve made it with apple cider instead of the juice, and it’s just as good. I’ve also tried it with pears. Although they don’t mash as well, they are still quite tasty.
