This cranberry sauce with apples is for fans of fruity flavor. It's a little bit sweet, a little bit tart, and totally delicious.
Apple Cranberry Sauce Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make this crowd-pleasing cranberry sauce with apples:
· Cranberries: Buy fresh cranberries that are firm, plump, and blemish-free. Lighter colored cranberries are best for sauce, as they contain more pectin and result in a thicker consistency.
· Apples: This recipe calls for Granny Smith apples because they're firm and pleasantly tart. You can substitute another firm, sweet-tart apple if you like.
· Water: A cup of water helps create the perfect consistency in this irresistible cranberry-apple sauce.
· Sugar: Cranberries and Granny Smith apples are notoriously tart, so sweeten things up with a cup of white sugar.
· Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon adds warmth, coziness, and complex flavor.
