2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples

2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries

1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate

1/2-1 tsp ground cinnamon

Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook over very low heat for about 25 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Mash lightly with a potato masher or purée in a food processor, if desired.
