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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
