3 Ingredient Apple Cranberry Sauce

I love simple and easy recipes and this one for 3 ingredient apple cranberry sauce is on the top of my list.  A classic recipe with a twist that’s great for any holiday or no occasion at all.  Enjoy the sweet and tangy.

It happens to be Thanksgiving next week and I was just finishing up some last minute planning with the menu and table settings for our Thanksgiving meal.

My mom used to buy the cranberry sauce in the can for just about any holiday dinner even if we were not having turkey.

I have to admit, I love the canned cranberry sauce. Most people that grew up eating it also loves it or at least enjoys it with turkey.

That brings me to this really simple recipe for 3 ingredient cranberry apple sauce.

I had a can of apple juice concentrate in the freezer along with the two bags of cranberries my daughter Tori had picked up for me during the week.

She had asked if I would make homemade cranberry sauce. I just didn’t want the usual cranberry sauce and knew it needed another punch of something.

Well, by adding the apple juice concentrate it was just what the sauce needed to round out the tangy cranberries.

So, now this is going to be my go to recipe for homemade t’s berry sauce or should I now say apple cranberry sauce.

I hope you give this version of a traditional cranberry sauce a go and enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
