Ingredients

0.5 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries

3 medium apples, sliced
1.5 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine cranberries and 1/3 cup water over medium-low heat. Cook for a few minutes until the cranberries begin to soften. Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
