Connie's Hot Cranberry~Apple Dish

A long time ago on a different social network, I "met" a gal named Jenni. I'm not sure how we got acquainted but we did. We followed each other on the other site then when Facebook became all the rage, we were friends there, too. I've never met her in person but I feel like if I did we'd be good friends. One thing good friends do is share recipes and she shared this one that she got from another friend, on her FB page not long ago. What's funny is that she had shared it on the other site YEARS ago and I printed it out to use and promptly misplaced it. So when she posted it again, I snatched it right up to use on SFFS...with Jenni's permission of course. We had it at Thanksgiving but it would be terrific for your Christmas dinner, too. The original recipe does not use butter in the topping, so that's totally your call. I used it...because, well..I just did and I love butter. It's a different spin on traditional cranberry sauce...you should try it because I think you'd really like it. Just like I did.
