This is delicous and has become a must- have dish at our family events! You can't buy the cranberry orange sauce anymore so I add some fresh orange zest to add a little flavor and leave the pecans off. I prefer to cut the apples up a bit so they cook more evenly.
Apple-Cranberry Compote
Look for cranberry-orange sauce near the applesauce in the canned fruit aisle of your supermarket. If you can't find it, 1 (16-ounce) can whole-berry cranberry sauce will also work.
