Ingredients
- 2 apples medium, organic (I like Granny smith, but most apples will work)
- 2 talks rhubarb medium sized, chopped (fresh, crisp stalks, if possible)
- ⅓ c sugar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice optional (use water instead, if not using lemon juice)
Instructions
- Peel, core and cut the apple into pieces and place into a pot.
- Add the sugar, and a splash of water, or squeeze of lemon juice so the apples don't stick.
- Add the chopped rhubarb, cover and cook, stirring from time to time, for about 6 or 7 minutes until the apples soften (the rhubarb will soften first.) When the apples are soft, remove from the heat.
- While you can leave the apples and rhubarb chunky, I recommend using an immersion blender or food processor to purée the mixture. Taste for sweetness and add sugar, as needed.

Notes
- Use immediately, refrigerate or freeze.
