I needed a quick way to use up the last fruit in our fruit bowl (apples, apricots, and cherries), and this microwave applesauce recipe was born. The basic recipe has a great bold flavor and is very customizable; add different kinds of fruit or none at all. It also works well doubled. Fast, easy, and delicious way to get your 5-a-day!

4 Gala apples, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup peeled and chopped fresh apricots
½ cup pitted and sliced cherries
2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon cooking sherry
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • Add a little bit of water or apple juice to prevent the applesauce from becoming too thick.
