Farmhouse Cranberry Applesauce for the Holiday Table

• 4 lbs apples (8-9 med or large)
• 3 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 12 cups water or 1 12 cups apple juice
• 34 cup sugar
• cinnamon (to garnish)

1. We like to run the apples through the ol' Pampered Chef apple corer, peeler, slicer--lickety split -- but you can also do it the old-fashioned way and core them by hand--in which case, quarter them into wedges.
2. Add apples, cranberries, water and sugar to a large saucepan.
3. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes (apples will break into pieces when stirred).
4. Cool, then if you used UNPEELED apples, press through a Foley mill or sieve.
5. If you peeled the apples, all you have to do is STIR!
6. Sprinkle with a dusting of cinnamon and serve.
