Notes
- Smooth Applesauce - If you don't like chunky applesauce feel free to run it through a food processor or blend with an immersion blender.
- Cranberries - This recipe requires fresh cranberries. If you don't have fresh cranberries on hand you can use frozen cranberries.
- Apples - Any style of apple will work. A tart apple like a Granny Smith is what I typically recommend as it holds it shape better.
- Cranberries Cooking - Don't be alarmed, your cranberries will begin to pop.
- Cooking Varies - Depending on your stove you may need to reduce the heat if the apples and cranberry begin to boil. Apples and cranberries should be soft to touch.
