Healthy Stewed Apples
Healthy stewed apples are so easy to make, delicious, and perfect for a healthy dessert or breakfast. Cooking fruit brings out the natural sweetness, so there's no need for added sugar.
Ingredients
- 4 dessert apples any variety
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, or use another sweet spice
- 2 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Cut the apples into even size cubes, approximately 1cm square. (If you prefer you can peel the apples first, but I prefer not to)
- Add the apples, spice and water to a lidded pan. Bring to a simmer over a low heat.
- Simmer the apples gently for around 20 minutes. If necessary, add a splash more water to ensure they don't burn on the bottom of the pan.
- Check the apples to see if they are cooked. They should be tender to the point of a knife but just holding their shape.
Notes
If you prefer, use half a cinnamon stick rather than ground cinnamon. You can also use other spices such as ginger, cardamom or cloves. Or omit the spice altogether.
