It doesn’t get any easier than this apple cranberry sauce. Dump all the ingredients into your slow cooker and forget about it until it’s time to sit down to dinner. The 8-hour cook time allows the ingredients to meld into a delicious sauce. Orange juice and orange peel add a citrusy spike that softens the tartness of cranberries, while the chopped apples provide sweetness and a textural variation. It’s the delightful twist on classic cranberry sauce that you never knew you needed!
