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. Every single ingredient here is inherently free of wheat — from the plump raisins and coconut oil to the maple syrup and warming spices — so there's no substituting or label-scrutinizing required. Ceylon cinnamon brings a gentler, more floral heat than the standard supermarket variety, and paired with ginger and optional turmeric, the filling has a depth that feels almost luxurious for something so simple. As the apples bake, their natural sugars caramelize and mingle with the spiced raisin filling, creating little pools of syrupy juice at the bottom of the dish that you'll absolutely want to spoon back over the top before serving. It's a genuinely fuss-free recipe that delivers impressive results — tender, wrinkled skins giving way to soft, jammy flesh with every bite. Serve them straight from the dish while they're still warm and you've got a dessert that needs absolutely nothing else.

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.
