Baked Spiced Apples And Oranges Recipes

SPICED PIRATE BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl.
• Cut the core out of each apple leaving the bottom intact to form a well. Stuff each apple with the brown sugar mixture, filling almost to the top. Place a few blueberries on top of the filling and finish with a layer of brown sugar mixture. Press a few raisins into the brown sugar mixture.
• Pour enough water into a shallow baking dish to cover the bottom; add walnuts, rum, vanilla extract, and cornstarch and mix well.
• Arrange apples in the water mixture and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until apples are slightly tender, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until sugar begins to caramelize, water mixture is thickened, and apples are tender, about 15 minutes more. Stir the water mixture and spoon it over the apples. Cool apples for about 5 minutes before serving.

BAKED APPLES WITH SPICED CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan, heat the orange and lemon juices with 1/2 cup of the port. Add the zest and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, onion, 2 cups port, ginger, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Over medium-high heat, cook until the relish thickens, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup port, the orange liqueur, and the reserved orange and lemon juice and zest mixture. Set aside.
• Cut off the top 1/4-inch of each apple. Using a melon baller, remove the core of the apple, being careful not to pierce the sides or bottom of the apples, to make apple "cups". Place the apple cups in a small baking dish. Spoon the cranberry relish into the apples. Spoon the excess relish around the apples. Cover with foil and bake until apples are tender, about 30 to 45 minutes.

BAKED CITRUS APPLES AND PEARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F
• Place the pear and apples quarters in a flameproof dish with the cinnamon stick, nutmeg, raisins, lemon and orange juice with the zest strips.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the fruit is just soft.
• Serve warm with creme fraiche or yogurt.
