Instructions

    Combine the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking mix, and brown sugar.
  7. 7
    Toss most of the spice mix with the apples. Reserve the remaining spice mix.
  8. 8
    Tip the lightly coated apples on top of the prepared base in the pan. Try to arrange the slices to have an even layer.

    Sprinkle the remaining spice mixture on top of the apples.

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
