2-Ingredient Stewed Apple Recipe

Why you need stewed apples in your life! They are…

  • Delicious

  • An excellent prebiotic source, a type of soluble fibre that works to promote flourishing gut bacteria and enhance SCFA production - more on this on my fibre blog if you’re interested

  • An abundant source of pectin and polyphenols, anti-inflammatory compounds that feed favourable bacteria strains

  • Are easier to digest than raw apples. If you avoid apples due to a FODMAP sensitivity, I suggest trying them this way

  • Cheap!

  • Quick!

  • Easy to make!

 
 

Recipe:

1. Chop up 6 - 8 apples. Use any colour or a combination of both. Organic is preferable if you can, keep the skin on.

2. Add 1/2 of water, chopped apples, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoons of grated ginger root (optional but delicious) to a pot and stir on low heat.

3. Continue for 20-30 minutes, until the apples have broken down & smell delightful. You may need to add another 1/2 cup of water to prevent sticking.

4. Let cool & transfer to the fridge. Eat within 5 days or freeze in individual portions.

I have been having them as pictured, atop overnight oats, with sheeps yoghurt & paleo granola.
