Warm, fragrant, and naturally sweet, these baked apples are the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell like autumn. Each apple is cored into a little cup and packed with plump raisins, maple syrup, and Ceylon cinnamon — then kissed with ginger and a hint of turmeric for a subtle, warming depth. The entire ingredient list is naturally free of gluten, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-reading anxiety involved — it just works as written. Coconut oil brings a gentle richness to the filling, while the water poured into the baking dish steams the apples from the bottom up, keeping them tender all the way through. Once they come out of the oven, spooning those caramelized pan juices back over the top is a step you absolutely don't want to skip. This is the kind of simple, wholesome dessert that feels indulgent without a single ingredient that could cause concern — perfect for sharing at the table or savoring solo on a quiet evening.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Using an apple corer or melon baller, core each apple from the top, leaving the bottom intact to form a cup — remove a cavity about 1 inch wide and 1½ inches deep. Stand the apples upright in an 8×8-inch baking dish.
In a small bowl, stir together the raisins, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, turmeric (if using), and sea salt until evenly combined.
