Most of us have heard the old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” While this may refer to healthful eating in general as a preventative measure against certain illnesses, there is a lot to be said for the apple itself.
Apples have much to boast nutritionally. For only 80 calories per medium apple, you get a good shot of vitamin C and potassium and only a trace of fat. Plus apples are a good source of fiber which aids digestion.
Substitute Applesauce
Using applesauce to lower the fat content of breads and cakes is a growing nutritional trend. Simply replace some or all of the oil, butter, or shortening in the recipe with an equal amount of applesauce.
Apple For Cooking
Apples are at their peak from now through November. Check for fruit that has good color and smooth skin without bruises.
The variety of apples depends on how you plan to use them. Any type is fine for eating out of hand, but for cooking or baking, try one of these: // Golden Delicious, McIntosh, Rome Beauty, Yrok Imperial, Granny Smith, Stayman, or Winesap.
