1 c whole berry cranberry sauce from a 16 oz. can
1 c chunky apple sauce

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Apples and Cranberries: Fresh fruits not only taste better but also provide more nutrients.
  • Choose Tart Apples: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples are good options as they hold their shape well and provide a nice tartness to the dish.
  • Simmer the Cranberries: Simmering the cranberries in sugar and water helps to soften them and release their tart flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Apples: Apples should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking will result in mushy apples.
  • Use a Variety of Spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are classic spices that go well with apples and cranberries. Feel free to experiment with other spices such as cardamom or allspice.
  • Serve with Whipped Cream or Ice Cream: A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream adds a delightful creaminess to the dessert.

Conclusion:

Apple cranberry dessert is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. With its sweet and tart flavors, it's a perfect ending to any meal.
