Combine the baking mix, egg, brown sugar, and spices in a bowl.

Line an 8 by 8-inch (20 by 20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.

Press the base mixture into the bottom of the baking pan (you might want to press it up the sides a little).

5

6

Combine the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking mix, and brown sugar.

7

Toss most of the spice mix with the apples. Reserve the remaining spice mix.
