Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 4 large baking potatoes
For the Topping
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 medium apple peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Small saucepan
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the potatoes and prick them all over with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the topping. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, diced apple, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon.
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop and the apples soften, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Once the potatoes are done, carefully cut them open lengthwise. Spoon the cranberry-apple mixture over the hot potatoes.

Notes

Serve immediately as a side dish.
