Great recipe! Super fast to make, I am sure no-fail, used up 4 apples I didn't want to go bad, and everyone loved it! Next time I hope to try pears...and add in some more spices, maybe ground cloves.
This is my favorite go-to recipe for a quick dessert! I usually use Granny Smith apples. My husband loves it!
Should you use a combination of pears and apples, or just pick one or the other?

Hi Lydia, we have not tried this recipe with a combination of apple and pear, but I imagine it would be just fine. Let us know what you decided and your thoughts!
