For Filling
In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients except apples and cook while stirring until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes while mashing cranberries. When sauce is lightly thickened, remove from heat, stir in apples and let cool.
For Batter
Sift together the dry ingredients. Add butter and cut in with a pastry cutter or the tines of a fork. When the mixture resembles coarse corn meal, add buttermilk and stir until just combined (mixture should be lumpy). Pour filling into a 9-inch pan and spoon the batter on top, leaving spaces between each spoonful. Bake for approximately 35 minutes until filling bubbles and the crust is browned.
