Apple or Pear Sauce with Oat Cream
It's one of the most recognizable expressions around: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." But besides the fact that it rhymes, which makes it fun to say and easy to recall, apples and pears do have real value. They are high density rich fruits and both are delicious, raw, stewed, baked and poached.
Use the fruit together or use them separately. We adore applesauce and it’s a daily staple in our house. I always have this tasty dessert in glass jars in the fridge and it’s super for taking the edge of any sugar cravings.Pears are a high-fibre, low calorie snack, and they contain twice as much fibre as apples. Slice into salads, roast or bake whole for dessert.
Ingredients

Instructions
Wash and peel the fruit, remove the cores and slice them into bite size chunks.Place the fruit in a pot with a little water or apple juice and add a pinch of sea salt. Simmer covered on a very low heat until the fruit is soft. Either mash with a potato masher or blend to a cream in an upright blender or use a stick blender. Serve in a martini glass and top with some oat cream if desired. Garnish with a fresh blueberry.
