2 teaspoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla powder
2 teaspoons Ceylon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger

2. Place chopped apples on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cook for around 15 minutes or until soft. Remove and let the apples cool to the touch.

5. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before removing from the pan.
