Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place halved apples, cut sides down, on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Simmer 2 cups apple cider, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg in a large kettle or pot for 10 minutes. Add the remaining apple cider, orange juice concentrate, and lemonade concentrate; stir until wassail is smooth. Mix brown sugar into the wassail; heat until almost boiling. Float baked apple halves and cinnamon sticks in the wassail; serve warm.
Simmer all together a couple hours and serve warm.
Wassail simmering on the stove adds a delicate aroma to the Christmas season and has long been a favorite in our Holiday Open House.

The recipe requires lemon cordial, not lemons, but for some reason it won't let me put 'lemon cordial' in the ingredients.
Stud the oranges with the whole cloves and bake in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes.
On top of the stove, heat the cider and cinnamon sticks until almost boiling.
Pour the hot cider into a large punch bowl. Add the studded oranges. Add the brandy to taste -- the more the merrier!
To replenish wassail, just add more heated cider and more brandy. The longer the oranges sit in the punch, the more orange flavor there is to it.
Combine and simmer for 10 minutes.
Strain out spices.
Serve in bowl decorated with holly or other Christmas greens.
Tie the last 3 ingredients in a cheesecloth and float in wassail.
