Simple but delicious -- you'll get many compliments. Just don't tell anyone how easy it was! This makes a lot. You can halve it, but will end up with 1/2 a can of apple pie filling. (Although, it probably wouldn't hurt to put in the entire can.)

Tips for Making Cran-Apple Sauce:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will give you a balance of tartness and sweetness. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core the apples: This will help to make the sauce smooth and prevent the skins from getting tough.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries will give you the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Add some spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger will help to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce until it thickens: This will help to concentrate the flavors and give the sauce a rich, thick texture.
  • Serve the sauce warm or cold: Cran-apple sauce can be served warm or cold. It's delicious on its own, or you can serve it with roasted meats, poultry, or fish.
