Key Ingredients

Apples: Apple nutrition benefits include the ability to improve your digestion, thanks to being one of best high-fiber foods. Apples are also a top source of pectin, a soluble, gelatinous polysaccharide that binds to cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract and slows glucose absorption.

Cinnamon: Did you know that researchers have found that cinnamon ranks No. 1 out of 26 of the most popular herbs and spices in the world in terms of its protective antioxidant levels.

Ginger: Ginger contains a diverse array of many important vitamins and minerals. It also contains gingerol, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound.

Ad

Nutmeg: This amazing spice nutmeg has been well-studied for its impressive benefits, including its effects on brain and heart health, digestion, inflammation and more.

How to Make Spiced Apple Rings

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. This low temperature allows the apples to get nice and crispy without burning. First core the apples, then use a mandolin or a knife to slice the apples thinly into a ring shape.

Toss the spiced apple rings in a bowl with the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Then lie them flat on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Bake the apple rings for an hour. Sprinkle them with a little extra cinnamon — and some coconut sugar if you’re feeling naughty — and enjoy!

You can easily pack these with lunches or serve as an after-school snack. Make a big batch, because they’ll go quickly!
