Cranberry Applesauce No Sugar Added
This is a vividly pink, wonderfully tart cranberry applesauce. Makes a great condiment for savory foods such as meat or potato pancakes, and also wonderful when eaten alone. It has no sugar added, thus it is very tart (which i love) - if you prefer a sweeter sauce, add 1/2 cup of sugar. I recommend using 1/2 sweet apples (i like braeburn) and 1/2 tart apples (granny smith, for example).
Steps
Cut apples into approximately 1 inch cubes.
Add all ingredients to pot , and turn heat on high.
Bring to a boil , then cover and reduce heat to low.
Simmer for 20 minutes or until the apples have softened significantly.
Half way through simmering , you may add sugar or other sweetener if you desire.
Stir frequently , making sure that the apples are not sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Add more liquid if necessary.
Remove lemon slices.
Mash with a potato masher or use a food mill for a smoother consistency.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
