Different and good.
3 pounds McIntosh apples, peeled if desired, seeded and chunked up
1 bag cranberries
Brown sugar to taste (start with 1/2 cup)
1 cup water
Cinnamon to taste
In large pan, combine everything but cinnamon. Bring to a boil, and then
turn down to a simmer. Cover and cook until apples are tender and berries
“pop”. Add cinnamon to taste. Mash with potato masher if you
want a smoother applesauce, or put through a food mill. You can also spray
a crockpot and use that, on low for 3-5 hours or high about 2 or so, until
apples are tender. Serve hot, room temperature, or chilled.
