For an even deeper flavor, consider using a mix of apple varieties, such as Granny Smith for tartness and Honeycrisp for sweetness. Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the dish enhances their nutty flavor. If you don't have buttery round crackers on hand, you can substitute graham crackers or shortbread cookies. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. A pinch of ginger or cardamom would also be delicious. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated. Simply prepare as directed, let cool completely, and store in the refrigerator. Reheat in a 325°F (165°C) oven until warmed through.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, gently toss together the diced apples, oranges, brown sugar, shredded Cheddar cheese, and toasted walnuts until evenly combined. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it in an even layer. Sprinkle the coarsely crushed buttery crackers evenly over the top of the fruit mixture. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the crushed crackers in the baking dish. Drizzle the liquid non-dairy creamer (or heavy cream) evenly over the top. (5 minutes)
04
StepCover the baking dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. (60 minutes)
05
StepRemove the baking dish from the oven and carefully remove the lid or aluminum foil. Gently stir the mixture to fold the crust into the fruit filling. This helps to create a cohesive and delicious dish. (5 minutes)
06
StepLet stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, either as a side dish or as a dessert, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
