Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a large casserole dish with butter. Cut the apples in half and remove the core, placing them cut side up in the dish.
Combine the filling ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix the pecans, coconut, honey, coconut oil or butter, cinnamon, and sea salt until well-combined.
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the filling onto the cut side of each apple half, distributing evenly.
Bake the apples in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel. Enjoy!
