Puree apple, cranberries, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and 1 cup water in a blender until smooth.
Transfer to a large deep heavy pot fitted with thermometer and cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until mixture is very thick and bubbly (it will sputter and splatter as it cooks; reduce heat if needed), 8-10 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, whisking often, until thermometer registers 200°, 15-20 minutes (mixture will be dark red and extremely thick).
Whisk lemon juice into cranberry mixture, then scrape into prepared pan; smooth top.
