Prep. Add the chopped apple, raisins, golden raisins, dried cranberries, orange juice, lemon juice, apple cider, brown sugar, almonds, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, and butter to a medium-large pot over medium heat.
Add everything to the pot and cook. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn the heat down to a simmer, and cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. After that, remove the lid and continue cooking uncovered until the mixture has turned dark and is thickened, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the finishing touches. Remove from the heat and stir in the orange zest, lemon zest, and brandy.
Let the flavor develop. You can eat it now, but it’s even better after the flavors have blended for a couple days in the fridge! (IMPORTANT TIP: If you’re using this filling to make pie or tarts, let it cool completely first.)
