CRANBERRY APPLE COLESLAW

I adapted this from a recipe I found on here. I wanted to use up some apples and an open bag of leftover coleslaw. This recipe is simply delicious with some nice clean fall flavors. This is nothing like the creamy wet coleslaw you would get at a deli. Its light, crisp, and crunchy.
