Steps:
- We like to run the apples through the ol' Pampered Chef apple corer, peeler, slicer--lickety split -- but you can also do it the old-fashioned way and core them by hand--in which case, quarter them into wedges.
- Add apples, cranberries, water and sugar to a large saucepan.
- Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes (apples will break into pieces when stirred).
- Cool, then if you used UNPEELED apples, press through a Foley mill or sieve. If you peeled the apples, all you have to do is STIR!
- Sprinkle with a dusting of cinnamon and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter, more tart flavor than frozen or canned cranberries.
- Wash the cranberries thoroughly. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Do not overcook the cranberries. Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a variety of apples. Different varieties of apples will give your applesauce a different flavor and texture.
- Peel and core the apples before cooking. This will help to make the applesauce smoother.
- Add sugar or honey to taste. The amount of sugar or honey you add will depend on the tartness of the cranberries and apples.
- Serve applesauce warm or cold. Applesauce can be served as a side dish, a snack, or a dessert.
Conclusion:
This holiday cranberry applesauce is a delicious and festive way to enjoy the flavors of the season. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it tart, sweet, or somewhere in between, this applesauce is sure to please everyone at your holiday table.
