Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Apple
- 2 large Pear
- 2 medium Banana
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained if canned)
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Peel and core the apples and pears, then dice them into bite-sized chunks.
Peel the bananas and slice them into thick rounds.
Heat a large sauté pan or skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the diced apples and pears to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Stir in the pineapple chunks and cook for another 3 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice, brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the orange juice mixture over the fruit in the pan and gently stir to coat all the fruit evenly.
Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the fruit is tender but not mushy.
Add the banana slices to the pan in the last 2 minutes of cooking to warm through.
Serve immediately as is, or top with a dollop of yogurt, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of granola for added texture.
