Ingredients
- Zest and juice of 2 large oranges
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 3 pounds Granny Smith apples (6 to 8 apples)
- 3 pounds sweet red apples, such as Macoun (6 to 8 apples)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 12 ounces fresh raspberries (2 packages)
- Vanilla ice cream, such as Haagen-Dazs, for serving
- Orange zest, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the zest and juice of the oranges and lemon in a large (11-inch) ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Peel, quarter, and core the apples and add them to the pot, tossing them with the juices as you go.
- Add the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and raspberries, cover, and bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the apples are very soft. Stir vigorously with a wire whisk. The applesauce will be smooth but still have a lot of texture. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream and a dusting of orange zest.

So good, I can not say enough about how yummy this is. This blew my family away, they loved it.
This was a wonderful fall dessert that everyone loved.
Outstanding flavor. The added citrus really makes it! Now to make a batch to use in an applesauce cake!
This is fantastic! The raspberries and citrus add an addictive pop of flavor. Absolutely perfect with vanilla ice cream.
Delicious ! ! ! !
OMG, Ina just has a way with making ordinary ingredients amazing. I used frozen organic raspberries and organic apples because ..you know..in LA that’s what we do Who knew warm apple sauce and vanilla ice cream was a thing! Sooo good! Thanks a million Ina!
Made 1/2 recipe. And then realized when it was done, I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and the 4 Tblsp of butter. BUT…it was Sooooo good ! And with the ice cream on top…totally Heaven.
Excellent! I made half the recipe and it was stil a lot for just the two of us. I used 4 Honeycrisp and 2 Granny Smith apples. I used a little more than 1/4 cup brown sugar. I would probably use only 3/4 tsp cinnamon for half the recipe next time.
This is fantastic! I had an abundance of jumbo Granny Smith apples, I used them solely. I made it for my great granddaughters, and I really want to keep some for myself.
I followed the recipe as published, with just a little pumpkin pie spice added. This is definitely a keeper and so easy since it is baked. I am freezing some and gifting “the girls” with the rest of it. Yum!!!

Made this today as an accompaniment to Thanksgiving dinner and oh my is it fantastic! It has lovely flavor. Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream it is perfection. It may not make it to thanksgiving dinner. I used Granny Smith and pink lady apples.
