Warm, fragrant, and naturally sweet, these stuffed baked apples are the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell like a cozy autumn afternoon. Each apple is cored into a little cup and packed with plump raisins, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup, then spiced with Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and a whisper of turmeric for a filling that's deeply aromatic without being heavy. The whole thing bakes in a splash of water until the skins wrinkle and the fruit turns meltingly tender — simple technique, stunning result. For anyone navigating sesame allergies, this recipe is a genuine breath of fresh air because every single ingredient is naturally free of the seed and its derivatives, with no tahini, sesame oil, or hidden blends to scrutinize. There's no swapping or substituting required — it's just clean, wholesome produce and pantry staples doing all the work. Once they come out of the oven, spooning those caramelized pan juices back over the top is the move that takes them from good to genuinely memorable. Serve them as-is or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for something that feels far more indulgent than it actually is.

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.
