WW Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Apple Raspberry Cranberry Sauce
I made this simple and deliciously different apple raspberry cranberry sauce in the slow cooker for Thanksgiving last year.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, do you depend on your slow cooker(s) to successfully pull off Thanksgiving dinner as much as I do? Talk about lifesavers. They are the perfect kitchen tool for freeing up your stovetop and oven!
Here’s a collection of some of my favorite Thanksgiving Recipes for the Crock Pot!
Ok, back to this deliciously different deep ruby red cranberry sauce….
It was a huge hit. Unfortunately, I have no recollection of where I first saw the recipe so I can’t credit the source. It is delicious. The perfect balance of sweet and tangy. And my new favorite cranberry sauce.
Wonderful with turkey or chicken, this also makes a tasty topping for oatmeal, pancakes, french toast, vanilla yogurt or pound cake or ice cream.

What size crockpot did you use? Do you think the leftovers would freeze well? I am planning to make this for Thanksgiving
I’ve been looking for a sauce recipe for Thanksgiving. No fresh cranberries here in Australia so when I saw that you used frozen berries, I can’t wait to try it.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did Maureen!
