Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the zest and juice of the oranges and lemon in a large bowl. Peel, quarter, and core the apples (reserving the peel of 2 of the red apples) and toss them in the juice. Pour the apples, reserved apple peel, and juice into a nonreactive Dutch oven or enameled iron pot. Add the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and allspice and cover the pot. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until all the apples are soft. Remove and discard the red apple peel. Mix with a whisk until smooth, and serve warm or at room temperature.
SPICED BAKED APPLES
I LOVE harvesttime and being able to cook with all the fresh produce gathered from gardens and groves. Since there's so much of everything, I try to be creative by enhancing old recipes with slight variations. That's what happened with these baked apples. The spices and touch of orange make the flavor just perfect! -Lorraine Chausse Cornwall, Ontario

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, toss together the apples, oranges and brown sugar. Spread evenly in a 13X9 baking dish
- 2. Sprinkle crackers over fruit.
- 3. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Wisk in the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and baking powder. Drizzle over crackers, then drizzle half & half over that.
- 4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
- 5. Remove from oven and stir gently to fold in the crust. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose firm, ripe apples and oranges for baking. This will ensure that they hold their shape and don't become mushy.
- Use a variety of apples and oranges for different flavors and textures. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji apples, and navel, Valencia, and blood oranges.
- Be sure to peel the oranges before baking. This will help to remove the bitter pith and make the oranges more palatable.
- Use a sharp knife to score the apples and oranges. This will help the spices to penetrate the fruit and create a more flavorful dish.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. This will prevent the apples and oranges from cooking evenly.
- Bake the apples and oranges until they are tender but still hold their shape. This will usually take about 30-45 minutes.
- Serve the apples and oranges warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Baked spiced apples and oranges are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover fruit, and they can also be made ahead of time and reheated.
