Daily use of this dessert will have a visible effect on the condition of hair and nails, and most importantly, it will strengthen bones and teeth.
Healthy treat recipe
Take medium sized apples. Before baking, you must thoroughly rinse them under running water, you can douse them with boiling water.
Further, it is necessary to cut off the top from the fruits and carefully remove the core with seeds, and in the resulting hole you can put dried fruits, chopped nuts and a drop of honey and cinnamon. For the filling, cottage cheese mixed with honey and raisins is also suitable, or you can simply leave the apple without filling. Pour some water (2-3 mm) on a baking sheet, put the apples. Cover the apple with a cut lid, greased with honey, and then bake them for about 25 minutes at 200 degrees.
You can also bake apples in the microwave. In this case, the baking time is 3-5 minutes (at a power of 700-800 W). For owners of a multicooker, we recommend baking the apples for 30-35 minutes. Remember to also fill the bottom of the containers with water.
And if not dessert?
Baked apples are a great addition to baked duck or chicken. To do this, rinse medium-sized chicken in running water, bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Then add the apples cut into large pieces (cut into quarters, removing the seeds) and brush the bird itself with honey. Bake for another 30 minutes. The duck can be stuffed with small pieces of apples, and the roasting time is slightly longer - 80-90 minutes.
