Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the pecans evenly on a baking sheet and toast for 8–10 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice, white sugar, apple pie spice, lemon zest, and orange zest. Whisk continuously for 3–4 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Strain into a bowl and allow to cool.
- Core the green and red apples, slice them into bite-sized pieces, and toss in a bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Peel the navel oranges and segment them by removing the membrane, cutting segments into smaller pieces if desired.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, toasted pecans, dried cranberries, grapes, and orange segments. Gently fold together to combine.
- Drizzle the cooled spiced citrus dressing over the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Dress just before serving for maximum freshness.
