How to Make Baked Citrus Apples And Pears
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel and core 2 medium apples (about 1 pound) and 2 medium pears (about 1 pound). Cut into quarters.
- In a flameproof dish, combine the apple and pear quarters with 1 cinnamon stick, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 cup raisins, the juice and zest of 1 orange, and the juice and zest of 1/2 lemon.
- Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove the foil and let the fruit cool slightly. Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or crème fraîche, or enjoy chilled with your favorite granola.
- Optional: Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
