FAQ

Is it okay to cook apple?

The best way to keep apples’ nutrition intact is to eat them raw since cooking can result in the loss of certain nutrients. Having said that, cooked apples are still a very wholesome food that can contribute to maintaining good overall health.

What is the best method for cooking apple?

Baking: This is the go-to cooking method for apples, and that’s because the end result is usually a sweet treat like apple pie or apple crisp. The dry heat used in baking keeps moisture locked in which is ideal when it comes to maintain the apple’s juiciness.

Is cooking apples good for you?

The simple answer is that cooked apples and raw apples are good for you in a number of ways. Eating an apple whole with its skin is a great source of dietary fibre. A high fibre diet is associated with good digestion and gut and bowel health. Cooking apples and eating apples are also packed with antioxidants.

Do apples get soft when you cook them?

Softer apples—those that would yield to the pressure of your thumb—are higher in water content and more likely to lose their shape or get soft and mushy when you cook them. That might be desirable for applesauce but it’s not what you’re looking for in a recipe where you want the pieces of fruit to remain distinct.
