Updated Mar 16, 2020
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!
