Super quick stewed apples<\/strong> two ways, a beautifully simple recipe to support gut health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stewed apples - two ways<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stewed apples are quick, simple and highly therapeutic. They’re also a quintessentially New Zealand treat – our family had an orchard out in Oratia back in the day, so this bowl of comfort always provides some nostalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🍏 Stewed apples have some wonderful health benefits, they’re packed with soluble and insoluble fibre to help regulate the bowels, they’re rich in polyphenols, promote the growth and diversity of friendly gut microflora, and lower both oxidative stress and inflammation in the digestive tract, making them an effective gut-healing food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to share this recipe two ways – the first as your classic stewed apples, the second as an applesauce with added slippery elm powder for an even greater gut-soothing effect. Both are healthy, without added sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

👩‍⚕️Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stewed apples are taken as a light breakfast in Ayurveda, often cooked with cloves or other aromatics, and are helpful to calm Vata dosha types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re also widely used in Naturopathic Medicine as an effective intervention for gastrointestinal healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
