Ingredients
- 2 large sweet-tart apples, such as Honeycrisp, Braeburn or Northern Spy, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 12-ounce bag whole cranberries (about 1½ cups)
- 1 cup apple cider, apple juice or water
- ¼ cup packed light- or dark-brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Juice of ½ small lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
Preparation
In a medium saucepan, bring all of the ingredients to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and the apples are very tender, about 25 minutes.
