“All-purpose apples, good both for eating raw and for cooking, are usually the least expensive apples sold in the market. Choose from such varieties as Cortland, Crispin, Granny Smith, McIntosh or Winesap.”

3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons cold water
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed

1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Add water and cranberries. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until cranberries begin to pop, about 5 minutes.
