2cups cranberries
1/3cup apple juice
2cups thinly sliced peeled cooking apples (1 to 2 medium)
2/3cup sugar
1/2cup apple juice
1tablespoon cornstarch
Shortcakes
2 1/2cups Original Bisquick® mix

Whipped topping, if desired
1.In 2-quart saucepan, heat cranberries and 1/3 cup apple juice to boiling. Stir in apples; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 5 minutes or until apples are softened. In small bowl, mix remaining filling ingredients; stir into cranberry mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. (Filling can be served warm or cool.)
2.Heat oven to 425°F. In medium bowl, mix all shortcake ingredients until soft dough forms. On surface lightly dusted with Bisquick mix, gently roll dough in Bisquick mix to coat. Knead 8 to 10 times. Roll 1/2 inch thick. Cut with 3-inch round cutter dipped in Bisquick mix. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
3.Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Split shortcakes horizontally. Fill and top shortcakes with filling. Top with whipped topping.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Heat oven to 450°F. Increase simmer time for filling to 7 minutes.
