IMG_20180217_175145_874.JPGBut before I go into the recipe and procedures,I want to briefly talk about the nutrients derived from this dessert. There are lots of vitamins in it such as vitaminA,B5,B6,and B12. There are also lots of minerals both minor and major including calcium,copper,folate,iron,magnesium,manganese,niacin,sodium and potassium.
It is mostly rich in carbohydrate followed by fat and finally proteins. And the most exciting part,NO CHOLESTEROL! Its completely cholesterol free.
Now to the recipe,it is a very cheap dessert to make and the ingredients are easily seen.

  6. Place each apple into a bowl of little water,this will help keep the apple moist and prevent it from coming out dry. It will also help to form a little apple juice which will add to the flavour.
