Ingredients:

  • 600g peeled and cored apples, diced
  • 300g fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Peel, core, and dice the apples into uniform 1/2 inch cubes. Note: Uniform size ensures everything softens at the same time.
  2. Quarter the strawberries.
  3. Place the diced apples and strawberries into the slow cooker crock.
  4. Stir in the lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
  5. Mix gently to distribute the spices across the fruit.
  6. Cover with the lid and set to Low for 4 hours. Note: You can use High for 2 hours if you're in a rush.
  7. Cook until the apples are translucent and collapse easily under a fork.
  8. Turn off the heat.
  9. Mash with a potato masher for a chunky style, or blend with an immersion blender for 30 seconds for a velvety finish.
