Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium green apples
  • 2 medium red apples
  • ¾ cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 cup grapes
  • 3 medium navel oranges
  • 1 medium lemon (juiced)
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ tsp apple pie spice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Zest of 1 orange

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant (about 10 minutes). Let cool.
  2. In a saucepan, combine orange juice, sugar, apple pie spice, lemon zest, and orange zest. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a low boil; simmer for about 3-4 minutes before straining.
  3. Core and slice the apples into bite-sized pieces, tossing them with lemon juice to prevent browning. Peel and chop the oranges.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together the sliced apples, dried cranberries, toasted pecans, grapes, and orange pieces.
  5. Drizzle the cooled dressing over the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat.
