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 going into the oven — simple ingredients that come together into something genuinely special. A touch of ground ginger adds gentle warmth, and the optional turmeric gives the filling a beautiful golden hue without changing the flavor much at all. Coconut oil keeps everything moist and rich without any dairy or soy-based fats, which means this recipe is naturally free of the hidden soy that sneaks into so many store-bought desserts and baking mixes. As the apples roast, the skins soften and pull back, and the juices pool at the bottom of the dish — spoon those over the top before serving and you've got a built-in caramel-like sauce. It's an effortless, crowd-pleasing dessert that works just as well on a weeknight as it does at a holiday table.

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.
