Ingredients
4 medium Braeburn apples
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 TBS raisins
3 TBS coconut oil, melted
1 1/2 TBS honey
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease the bottom of a 8x8 baking dish.
Cut a circle in the top of the apples about 1 1/2 inches wide. Scoop out the top circle and continue scooping down only 3/4 the way of the apple, trying to keep the 1 1/2 inch measurement the whole way.
Mix the remaining ingredients, and scoop them equally between the 4 apples.
Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are at the desired tenderness. Do not over cook or the apples will be mushy.
Cut apples in half and serve.
