DELICIOUS APPLE DESSERT

I know my friends as I missed you so do you but my home for last few days was packed with friends and relatives so I don’t get enough time to update my blogs but now I am on my job again. Last week I cooked lots of foods for all my loved ones but something that the little kiddos love and even their Moms and Dads was a delicious yummy apple dessert.
Before going to main recipe take a quick look why it is said -"An apple a day keeps the doctor away". I get to know that recent studies have suggested that the consumption of apples can help control weight gain, lower risk of heart disease. Though most people find flesh part of apple more delicious but skin is definitely most nutritious. The apple skin is considered roughage and is a great remedy for constipation. One of the soluble fibers found in apples is called pectin. Pectin reduces the amount of cholesterol produced in liver, slows digestion and the rise of blood sugar making it ideal for diabetes patient. But always try to select good variety of apples like Granny Smith. As I am sure I think so do you that you are having a healthy dessert. Now back to the main recipe.

Apple puree           3 cups
Butter/ Diet butter   1 tbsp
