This cozy, flavorful dish offers a delightful mix of textures and is perfect for a healthy treat with a bit of a twist.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 2 medium apples, cored and sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon raisins
• 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Procedure:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with coconut oil.
• In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and chili powder.
• Place the sliced apples in a mixing bowl, sprinkle the spice mix over them, and toss to coat evenly. Add in the raisins and walnuts, mixing them with the apples.
• Spread the apples evenly in the greased baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the apples are tender and golden, stirring halfway through for even baking.
• Enjoy warm as a dessert or snack on its own, or pair it with a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
