1-INGREDIENT APPLESAUCE 🍏🍎 All you need are APPLES and WATER! You can add cinnamon or sweeten it with dates, maple syrup or coconut sugar if you want but I love it plain so the apple flavor can really shine. 💯 You can also make this on the stovetop by just boiling the apples until fork tender. It takes about ten minutes. Apples are full of powerful disease-fighting nutrients and health benefits. They keep you hydrated because of their high water content, they’re low in calories, fat-free, sodium-free, cholesterol-free, and full of fiber and vitamin C. Why keep the skin on? Because you won’t notice it and it is SO nutritious. Most of the fiber in apples comes from the skin. When you remove the skin, you remove about half the fiber. Dietary fiber is important for weight management, because it keeps you fuller longer. Dietary fiber from fruit, as part of an overall healthful diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and might lower the risk of heart disease, obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Plus, fiber aids in proper bowel function and helps to reduce constipation. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, apples are loaded with the powerful antioxidant quercetin, which is found predominantly in the skin. Quercetin is a phytochemical with anti-inflammatory and heart-protecting qualities, and may reduce the growth and spread of cancer cells.
