This vegan cranberry sauce recipe is easy to make and includes apples for some extra flavor and natural sweetness. This creates a sauce with a jam-like texture and slightly tart flavor.
Peel and dice the apple. Smaller pieces of apple are better as they cook faster and will break down into the sauce easily.
1 ½ cups apple
Add all ingredients to a medium sized pot.
3 cups cranberries*, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup water, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ cups apple
Step 2: Cook and Serve
Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium low and cook the cranberry sauce until it’s thickened (stirring regularly). This takes about 10 minutes after the sauce is brought to a boil.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning/ sugar to your liking.
To serve the sauce hot, cool for 10 minutes then serve. Otherwise, chill in the fridge and serve cold.
