In a food processor or using a stick blender, combine apricot halves, cinnamon, cloves and sugar. Process until the apricots are well pureed.

Peel and slice apples (preferably with an apple peeler corer slicer) and chop apples. Alternatively, peel and chop apples into pieces that will cook quickly, but will not completely disintegrate during cooking.

Combine apricot puree and apples in medium sauce pan and cook over medium heat until apples are soft. Stir as necessary to prevent burning.
