Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium apples peeled, deseeded and cubed
  • 12 oz cranberries fresh or frozen
  • ½ large orange juiced and zested

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup water

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients—apples, cranberries, orange juice and zest, syrup, cinnamon, and water—into a medium saucepan.
  • Place over medium heat and bring to a light simmer. Simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the apples are tender.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. The sauce will thicken more as it cools. Serve warm or chilled.
