Use a variety of apples, such as Golden Delicious, Braeburn, Cortland, and Rome. Prepare it up to one day ahead. (I used McIntosh)

2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup splenda or to taste
1/2 cup sugar free pancake syrup
1/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch fresh grated nutmeg


Directions

Combine cranberries and next five ingredients in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook 3 minutes or until cranberries pop.

Add apple to pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until apple is soft. Uncover, bring to a boil, and cook 15 minutes. Mash apple mixture with a potato masher. Pour into serving dish; cover and chill at least 2 hours.
