Slow Cooker Apple, Raspberry & Cranberry Sauce for Holidays

WW Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Apple Raspberry Cranberry Sauce

I made this simple, delicious apple-raspberry-cranberry sauce in the slow cooker for Thanksgiving last year. Slow cookers are lifesavers for holiday meals — they free up oven and stovetop space and make preparation easy.

This deep ruby-red cranberry sauce was a big hit. I don’t remember where I first spotted the idea, but it quickly became my favorite cranberry sauce — nicely balanced between sweet and tangy.

It’s wonderful with turkey or chicken and also makes a tasty topping for oatmeal, pancakes, French toast, vanilla yogurt, pound cake or ice cream.
