Leftover cranberry sauce? Not usually at our house! We make our own, and it is GOO-OOD! But this year I saved out a cup of cranberry sauce because this idea came to me upon noticing a couple of apples that needing to be consumed. I used whole-berry cranberry sauce, but feel free to try this with the jellied type, also. Enjoy it on French toast, waffles, ice cream, or Pumpkin Pound Cake.

How To Make cranapple glaze-topping

  • Step 1
    Core apples and quarter them; slice into 1/4" slices. (I don't peel my apples.)
  • Step 2
    Cook apples in butter over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
  • Step 3
    Stir in cranberry sauce and bring to a slow boil. Lower heat and simmer uncovered until it reduces and makes a thick glaze, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Serve over French toast, waffles, ice cream, or https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/dessert-cake/pumpkin-pound-cake.html (I love that recipe because it's so easy).
