Apple cranberry sauce is the easiest, low sugar alternative to pre-made cranberry sauce. Sweetened with a little maple syrup and amped up with spices, it's a bit like a chutney, but without the acidic element.

Ingredients
3large apples*
2cupsfresh cranberries
3tablespoonsmaple syrup or honey
2teaspoonslemon juice
1teaspoonpure vanilla extract
1teaspooncinnamon
Tiny pinch cayenne*
1teaspooncoconut oil
Instructions
Peel, core and chop the apples. Add the apples, cranberries, honey, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cayenne to a medium sauce pot.
Cook over low-medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency. I like my apples with a little bite so I do 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut oil.
Notes
1. I used a royal gala, a honey crisp, and a braeburn. A mix is nice, but not really necessary. Those were just the apples I had.
2. I mean a tiny pinch, guys. You want it to just add a little flavour but not be spicy.
