1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   Using a melon baller or paring knife, core each organic Gala apple from the top down, leaving roughly a half-inch base intact so the filling remains contained.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, stir together the chopped sun-dried figs, sprouted pecans, ground cardamom, a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of the melted grass-fed ghee, and 1 teaspoon of the raw organic honey until evenly combined.

4. 4

   Spoon the fig and pecan filling firmly into the cavity of each cored apple, mounding any remaining mixture slightly over the top.

5. 5

   Stand the apples upright in a small baking dish, pour 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the pan around the fruit, and drizzle the remaining melted ghee and honey over the stuffed tops.

6. 6

   Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes until the apples begin to soften.

7. 7

   Carefully remove the foil, baste the apples with the warm pan juices, and return to the oven uncovered for 6 to 8 minutes until easily pierced with a knife tip.

8. 8

   Let the apples rest for 5 minutes in the warm dish, then spoon the fragrant pan glaze over them before serving.
