This is excellent and should be made year round, not just during the holidays. I recommend dicing the apples instead of mashing them, and doubling the amount of cranberries, adding 1/2 cup more water as well. Great added to oatmeal, or as a side dish with most meals. Also great added to salads, and good with a few walnuts as toppers.

This is a perfect dish to substitute cranberry sauce/jelly at Thanksgiving. I made it last year and it was so good I had to stop myself from eating it with a spoon! Really deliciously tart and sweet - all the flavor I loved about sugary cranberry sauce with a healthy nutrient boost!

I will definitely be making this again for Thanksgiving this year!

I made this recipe exactly as written and it was delicious! I served it as part of our Thanksgiving feast along with traditional cranberry sauce and to my surprise several of my family members preferred it. I had some the next morning along with a sprinkling of nuts on top for my breakfast. I will definitely make this again - often.

I made this in the Instant Pot--manual for two minutes and only a half cup of water. I liked it but found it a bit sour, maybe because I didn't peel the apples? Next time I'd still keep the peels on but use sweeter apples or more raisins. I also diced the apples small instead of mashing everything.

I think all the cranberry recipes would be great in plain, unsweetened and/or greek (plain, unsweetened) almond (no dairy!) yogurt.  Perhaps even coconut plain, unsweetened yogurt as well.  Just enough of a kick of sweetness and greatness (yum) to the unsweetened almond yogurt.  To all those who dislike plain, unsweetened, dairy-free yogurt, give this a try!

I loved this recipe as written but I didn't mash the apples.  It was delicious at Thanksgiving and the leftovers went into the freezer.  I had some today and they were perfect!   I'm going to make more tomorrow so I can freeze the leftovers and have them ready for dessert.
