1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 by 14 by 2-inch oval baking dish. (I use a 13x9 glass baking dish.).
2. Peel, core, and cut the apples into large wedges. Combine the apples with the zests, juices, sugar, and spices. Pour into the dish.

4. Place the crisp on a sheet pan and bake for 1 hour until the top is brown and the apples are bubbly. Serve warm.
