Time for preparation (including preparation and cooking): 40 min
 
Ingredients:
– 3 1⁄2 pounds apples, peeled, cored, and roughly chopped (about 8 1/2 medium apples [3” diameter])
– 1 1⁄2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
– 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
– 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
– 2 Tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
 
Directions:

1. In a large (5-quart) saucepan, combine all ingredients with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil then lower heat to simmer. Cover and cook 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Use a potato masher or fork to mash mixture to the consistency you want. Serve warm or cold.
3. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes

• When frozen or fresh cranberries are not available, substitute canned cranberry sauce for the cranberries and brown sugar.  Add 1 (14 ounce) can of cranberry sauce to the saucepan after the mixture has been simmering for about 15 minutes.
