Ingredients
SAUCE:
- 2 cups whole cranberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled + diced
- ½ cup organic cane sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup filtered water + 2 Tbsps!
- 2 Tbsps pure maple syrup

Instructions
TO MAKE THE CRANBERRY SAUCE:
- In a saucepan, add together all ingredients over medium-high heat, stirring until combined and the mixture begins to boil, about 1-2 minutes. Once cranberries begin to pop/burst, reduce to a simmer and continue to cook for about 6-7 minutes or until the sauce is thick and the cranberries are broken and tender.
- Once done, remove heat and allow sauce to cool completely before serving. Garnish with orange zest, if desired.
- Bon Appetit!
