BAKED APPLES WITH SPICED CRANBERRY RELISH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan, heat the orange and lemon juices with 1/2 cup of the port. Add the zest and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, onion, 2 cups port, ginger, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Over medium-high heat, cook until the relish thickens, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup port, the orange liqueur, and the reserved orange and lemon juice and zest mixture. Set aside.
- Cut off the top 1/4-inch of each apple. Using a melon baller, remove the core of the apple, being careful not to pierce the sides or bottom of the apples, to make apple "cups". Place the apple cups in a small baking dish. Spoon the cranberry relish into the apples. Spoon the excess relish around the apples. Cover with foil and bake until apples are tender, about 30 to 45 minutes.

BAKED APPLE WITH CRANBERRIES
I had this for breakfast this morning. My internet was off and I couldn't look up baked apples so I made this one up. I enjoyed it so I thought I would post it. I used brown sugar substitute, but you can used regular brown sugar. I kept it low in both sweet and butter but you can add more if you want. I baked it in a toaster oven at 350°F for 30 minutes. If you use sweetened cranberries, I would cut back on the sugar. Substitute margarine for butter and this is a vegetarian recipe.

SUPERB CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH APPLES AND PEARS
This cranberry sauce has extra spices, diced fruits, and orange juice added to make it more exciting than plain old cranberries. Everyone always loves this at Thanksgiving and it disappears fast! It's best when made the night before and left to rest in the refrigerator overnight so all the flavors can blend together.
