To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.
~La Rochefoucauld
Personally, I like to go a step farther and eat creatively which is what inspired this recipe!

2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
4 ounces orange juice with pulp
3 tablespoons brown sugar

I agree with the previous comment – very different, but really does sound oddly delicious!

Not sure if I’ll have time to play along on this round.
