CRANBERRY APPLESAUCE



Cranberry Applesauce image

Fresh cranberries bring a pleasing tartness and beautiful ruby color to basic applesauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 45m

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices (try a combination of Gala, Golden Delicious, and McIntosh)
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine apples, cranberries, cinnamon stick, sugar, and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. (If sauce begins to stick to the bottom of the pan, add 2 to 4 tablespoons more water.)
  • Remove from heat; discard cinnamon stick. Stir in lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, tart apples for the applesauce. This will help the sauce hold its shape and maintain its tartness when combined with the sweet cranberries.
  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can be used, but they will not have the same bright, tart flavor as fresh cranberries.
  • Don't overcook the applesauce. It should be cooked until the apples are tender, but still hold their shape.
  • Let the applesauce cool completely before assembling the sundaes. This will help the sauce to thicken and set.
  • Use your favorite ice cream for the sundaes. Vanilla, cinnamon, or apple pie ice cream all pair well with the cranberry applesauce.
  • Top the sundaes with whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra special treat.

Conclusion:

Cranberry applesauce sundaes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tartness of the cranberries and the sweetness of the applesauce complement each other perfectly, and the ice cream and whipped cream add a creamy richness that takes the dessert to the next level. Whether you are serving them at a party or enjoying them as a special treat for yourself, cranberry applesauce sundaes are sure to be a hit!
