Warm, fragrant, and naturally sweet, these stuffed baked apples are the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Each apple is cored into a little cup and packed with plump raisins, maple syrup, and Ceylon cinnamon before being baked until tender and caramelized — no complicated technique required. Eating without nightshades doesn't mean giving up cozy, satisfying sweets, and this recipe is proof of that, relying entirely on fruit, warm spices, and coconut oil to deliver serious flavor. The optional turmeric adds a subtle earthiness and a gorgeous golden hue to the filling without overpowering the cinnamon and ginger. Spooning the pan juices back over the apples before serving is a small step that makes a big difference, turning a simple baked fruit into something that feels genuinely special. These are wonderful on their own but would also be lovely alongside a scoop of coconut cream if you want to dress them up a little.

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.
