Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

Instructions

1
Combine the apple chunks, pear chunks, water, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir to coat the fruit.
2
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is completely tender and collapses easily when pressed with a spoon.
