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.

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

Baked apple rings step 1 - Dr. Axe

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.

Baked apple rings step 2 - Dr. Axe

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!
