Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 Large Apples of choice cored and sliced
- 3 Pears cored and sliced
- 1/2 Lemon juiced
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (extra for topping)
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- ½ cup Pecans
- 2 Cups Grapes
- 1½ Cups Fresh cranberries
- ⅓ Cup Maple Syrup
- 1 Orange Juiced
- ½ tablespoon Orange Zest
- 2 tablespoon Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300F and grease a baking dish with a bit of the 2 tablespoon Coconut Oil.
- Combine 3 Large Apples of choice and 3 Pears to a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 Lemon (juiced), 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg, and toss the fruits well with a wooden spoon to coat with the juice. Adding lemon juice will enhance the taste of fruits and prevent them from browning.
- Transfer the fruits to your prepared baking dish and add in 2 Cups Grapes, ½ cup Pecans, and 1½ Cups Fresh cranberries.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk ⅓ Cup Maple Syrup, 1 Orange (juiced), and ½ tablespoon Orange Zest, and the remaining coconut oil. Pour the dressing over the fruits and toss well to combine.
- Bake into the preheated oven for 1 hour. Once the fruits are done, remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature.
- Sprinkle with some more cinnamon if desired, serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Use a mix of fruits: Different fruits give better flavor and texture. Apples, pears, peaches, and berries all work well. Try to mix soft and firm fruits if you can.
- Adjust sweetness: The ripeness of your fruit matters. If your fruit is very sweet, you can reduce or skip the added honey or maple syrup.
- Make it more filling: Serve with Greek yogurt or a protein yogurt if you want to turn this into a more balanced snack or light breakfast.
- Add texture: If you like a little crunch, add oats or extra nuts on top before baking.
- Keep it simple: This recipe is very forgiving. You don’t need exact measurements. It still turns out good even if you adjust things based on what you have.
- Serve warm: It tastes best warm right out of the oven, when the fruit is soft and juicy.
