Baked Spiced Apples And Oranges Food

EASY CINNAMON BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and set out a 9x13-inch (or similar size) baking dish.
• Peel and core apples, quarter, and use a paring knife to thinly slice lengthwise (see photo). The thinner the better! Just try to be consistent so they cook evenly.
• Add to baking dish and top with lemon juice, coconut oil (optional), coconut sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cornstarch (or arrowroot), apple juice (or water), and a healthy pinch of salt. Toss to combine. Then loosely cover with foil.
• Bake for 45 minutes (covered). Then carefully remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the apples are very fork tender (especially in the center of the dish) and slightly caramelized (see photo).
• Enjoy as is or with Coconut Whipped Cream or Vanilla Bean Coconut Ice Cream! Best when fresh, though leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven (covered) until warmed through. Add a bit of water if the "caramel" sauce is too thick.

BRAISED APPLES WITH ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel and core the apples and put them in a bowl with water to cover and add the juice of the lemon to prevent them from discoloring.
• Drain the apples. Using 2 tablespoons butter, grease a flameproof baking dish just large enough to hold them comfortably. Put a teaspoon butter in each apple. Sprinkle with sugar. Add 2 tablespoons of the cognac, white wine and orange juice. Bring to simmer on top of the stove, cover loosely with foil paper and put into the oven.
• Bake for 25 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure that the liquid remains at a simmer and that the apples are not overcooking. If they cook too long, they will collapse.
• When the apples are done, arrange them on a serving dish. Add the jelly to their cooking juices and bring to boil. Stir in remaining cognac and orange peel. Cook for a minute or two, or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the spoon. Pour over the apples. Serve at room temperature, with the cream in a small jug.
