Ingredients

2 cups dried cranberries

1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup water

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

6 Gala Apples, cored and chopped (about 3 pounds)

Preparation

Combine all ingredients in a large microwave-safe dish. Microwave at high 20 minutes or until apples are soft, stirring occasionally.

Note: Chop the nuts and apples the night before, and combine with the rest of the ingredients in the morning. Ida Red and McIntosh apples also work well.

Yield: 6 cups (serving size: 1/4 cup)
