To a large pot, combine the apples, pears, water, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove lid and continue to simmer for 5 to 10 more minutes. The apples and pears will be fork tender and soft enough that they slide off the fork when pricked.
Remove mixture from the heat and allow to cool completely.
Once cooled, remove the cinnamon stick and mash with a potato masher (for chunky applesauce) or immersion blender (for smooth applesauce).
Ladle the Pear Applesauce into jars leaving one inch of headspace. Add new lid, ring, and tightly seal jar. Refrigerate for up to one week.
