Warm Cinnamon Apple-Pear Sauce

• 12 whole Apples, Peeled, Sliced And Chunked (I Like A Mix Of Braeburn, Granny Smith, And Cortland)
• 1 cup Water
• 3/4 cups Brown Sugar
• 1/4 cups Maple Syrup
• 1-1/2 Tablespoon Cinnamon
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract (Good Quality Pure Extract)
• 1/2 cups Raisins (optional)
• 1 quart Canned Pears Halves, Drained And Chopped

1. Place chopped apples into a large crock or heavy Dutch oven. Add the remaining ingredients except the pears. Cover the pan with foil and place on a baking sheet.
2. Bake in a 200u0b0F oven all night. (Alternatively, I have baked this for about 3 hours at 350u0b0F. However, if you go this route, you must stir the pot about every 30 minutes.)
3. In the morning, use a potato masher to lightly mash the mixture, stirring well. Add the chopped pears. Stir well.
4. Serve in bowls with a dollop with freshly whipped cream.
