- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Take out, stir, spread evenly, and return to the oven.
- Bake for another 7 minutes, and stir again.

Notes
If you don’t like the taste of nutmeg or ginger, you can easily leave those spices out of the recipe.
These baked apples should be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. The coconut oil will solidify once cold, but after warming it will incorporate into the sauce again.
To re-heat the apples gently warm them on the stove top in a sauce pan, or in the microwave.
They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
