A simple recipe in a multicooker

Continuing the topic of conversation, I note that baked apples in a slow cooker are not inferior to those prepared in other ways. When you open the lid of the appliance, the entire kitchen space is filled with a delicious smell that instantly collects household members in the kitchen.

• Apples - 6 pcs.
• Honey - 3 tbsp. spoons.
• Cinnamon - 0.3 tsp.
• Vanilla sugar.
• Whipped cream.

1. Wash the fruits and cut the core with a knife. Using a small spoon, make a recess in each. The wall thickness is arbitrary and is determined by the amount of filling. Prick the surface with a fork so that the peel does not burst during baking.
2. Combine vanilla sugar with cinnamon, mix and add to liquid honey. With the resulting filling, fill in the recesses and put in the multicooker container. Before this, it does not hurt to grease the bottom of the container with butter.
3. After activating the baking mode, bake for thirty minutes. If you have hard fruits at your disposal, increase the time by a quarter of an hour.
4. Arrange on plates, and on top put a small slide of whipped cream or a ball ice cream. After baking, caramel will remain in the bowl. Pour dessert over her.

I had to make this dish from various varieties of apples, but they are best suited: Smith, Antonovka, Ranet. All have a sour taste, dense flesh and strong skin.

How to bake apples in the microwave

Dessert is prepared in a matter of minutes, and you should not reheat the oven for a few apples.The taste is determined by whether the fruits are sour or sweet.

You will need deep dishes, because a lot of juice is released during baking. I advise you to use a ceramic mold or glassware, but a plastic container will do. The main thing is that it does not melt in the microwave.

• Apples - 4 pcs.
• Honey - 4 tbsp. spoons.
• Cinnamon - 0.3 tsp.

1. Cut the fruit in half, remove the stalks with the core and seeds. In each slice, make a deepening using a teaspoon. Put in the dishes in which you will bake.
2. Put a little in each recess honey, which can be replaced with jam. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and microwave. If there is a special cap, cover the form.
3. The duration of baking is determined by the power of household appliances, the weight and stiffness of apples.
4. I have a 800-watt microwave and baking takes no more than 8 minutes. Depending on the power of the equipment, the cooking time increases or decreases.

Serve the finished apples to the table in a slightly cooled form. But even a cold dessert will delight you with a wonderful taste. Thanks to this treatment, the fruits retain their original form.

The benefits and harms of baked apples

Baked apples - a dish with a unique composition that is useful for the body. But some doctors doubt the positive effect and claim their harm. I think these people are trying to become famous with the help of false arguments, since the delicacy is widespread and not a single problem with its use has been fixed.

An exception is considered to be a purchased product that goes on sale after heat and chemical treatment. As a result, beneficial substances disappear, leaving a mixture consisting of fructose, liquid and pulp.

As a result of heat treatment, fruits lose their beneficial properties, but the loss coefficient is too small. Beneficial substances are retained even in fully dried and roasted apples. As for chemical processing, this is a different matter. It affects the number of important components negatively.

Beneficial features

• Many diets include the use of apples cooked in the oven. The product helps to lose weight and improve health.
• Eating three baked apples a day, along with two glasses of apple juice, provide the body with a daily norm of vitamins B, G and E, folic acid.
• Benefits depend on the variety. Acid varieties are recommended for low acidity, and sweet varieties for high acidity.
• The fruits passed through a grater are better acquired and it is not recommended to remove a peel. This is a storehouse of useful components that improve health. I recommend combining dessert with juice and fresh fruits.
• The peel contains many insoluble fibers that contribute to cholesterol from the blood. It also contains soluble fibers that cleanse the liver.

Apple diets that burn fat deposits are gaining popularity. But the frequent use of baked fruits negatively affects the body. They have a lot of coarse fiber, which causes an exacerbation of colitis, leading to digestive disorders. Therefore, the dish is contraindicated for persons with gastritis or an ulcer.
