- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup water

Instructions

Notes
- Cranberries: Fresh cranberries freeze really well, so stock up when you see them. If your cranberries are already frozen, no need to thaw. Just cook them straight from the freezer and add 2 minutes to the simmering time.
- Apples: I like tart Granny Smith apples because they hold their shape in the sauce.
- Yield: This recipe makes 3 cups of sauce, enough for 12 (1/4 cup) servings.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
