Ingredients

  • 4 pounds Fuji, Gala, or other sweet apples
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • ΒΌ cup apple cider or juice
  • cinnamon optional

Instructions

  • Slice the apples. Keep the skins on them if you have a food mill or stick blender. This will add color and nutrients to your sauce. If you don't have either you can then peel the apples.
  •  Dump your apple slices in your cooking vessel along with the cider and cranberries. If you are using a slow cooker, just let your apples cook until they become mush, it may take a few hours. If you are using a pressure cooker, look on your lid and bring to full pressure and then cook for just 1 minute. 
  • Process through a food mill or use a stick blender to smooth out.
  • Serve warm or refrigerate.
