Ingredients (4 servings)

For the Apples

4 apples
1 cup red cherries, pitted
½ cup blueberries
½ cup blackberries
1–2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1–2 tbsp wild honey or coconut sugar
½–1 tsp nutmeg
Optional: cinnamon, lemon juice, pinch of salt
Optional drama: chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

Apples:

Preheat your oven to 425°F, because apparently you enjoy your fruit suffering.

Cut the apples in quarters like you’re removing the emotional halves of someone who ghosted you. Leave a little “well” in the middle.

In a bowl, toss cherries, blueberries, blackberries, coconut oil, sugar o honey, and nutmeg. (Try not to eat all the cherries “accidentally.”)

mix the apples and berries like you're packing for a trip you won’t actually take.

Set apples and berries mix in a baking dish. Add a splash of water or juice to the bottom so they steam instead of going full raisin.

Bake 35–45 minutes until tender, collapsing slightly, and smelling like a candle you’d pretend you didn’t buy at Target (boycott Target..IJS).

Serve warm.

Why It Works

Apples + berries = antioxidants that might slow the aging caused by all your stress-scrolling.

Wild honey = natural sweetness with “I’m a health person” energy.

Coconut oil = richness without the dairy doom spiral.

Nutmeg = warm spice that makes you feel like you organized your pantry even though you absolutely didn’t.

Baking = transforms fruit into a dessert so cozy it could emotionally manipulate you.

Bonus Points for Kids

• Soft + easy to chew (even for baby teeth still thinking about showing up)

• Naturally sweet without the sugar chaos, you CAN make it without any sugar or honey.

• Fiber to keep their tiny digestive systems from staging a revolt

• Vitamin C + antioxidants for immunity

• Berries = brain-boosting nutrients

• Cozy, warm food toddlers actually want to eat
