I absolutely loooove this applesauce! I can't stop eating it. I like cranberries, but not raw, and I had some I needed to get rid of. Now, I want to stock up on cranberries so I can make this again and again! This will be a regular at our house--thanks so much for posting! -
This is my favourite applesauce, I substitute cranberry juice for the water or apple juice and this results in a nice pink-coloured sauce. I like it served warm over ice cream, as a condiment with roast pork and it's delicious for breakfast in the morning with buttered toast or hot biscuits! I prefer a chunky sauce. -
My family raved about this. It is the perfect combination of flavors, even though I did not have a cinnamon stick nor did I use lemon zest. I will make this often! KCShell
