Ingredients

  • 5 pounds apples, seeded, cut into large chunks (10-12 medium)
  • 1½ cup (220 g) pitted dates, about 24 each
  • 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon

  2. Place the immersion blender into the middle of the cooking pot. Submerge the immersion blender below the surface of the liquid or as close to the ingredients as possible.
