It has long been known that for the health of the body it is necessary to eat at least one apple a day. However, not all people can eat this fruit on a daily basis. Some people just do not like it, and others can not use it because of problems with the stomach. In this case, baked apples are a good option - they are much easier to perceive by the stomach and are quickly absorbed by the body. In addition, by baking apples, you can prepare a dessert that will be pleasant and useful for children.
Baked apples have caloric value, which slightly exceeds the calorie content of fresh fruits. The exact figure depends on what kind of apples are baked and with which ingredients.
Calorie content of baked apples
The easiest way to bake is to place the washed apples in the oven for 20 minutes in the oven. The calories of baked apples without sugar can range from 55 to 87 units. This caloric content makes the dish a diet suitable for eating during weight loss diets. Baked apples have such a composition that helps to speed up the metabolism and get rid of excess weight.
For the preparation of dessert, you can sprinkle an apple with sugar. In this case, you will get a dish with a caloric content of about 80-100 units. During diets it is undesirable to use sugar, but if you can not tolerate dietary deprivation, a little sugar will help improve the taste of the dish and will give strength for further diet compliance.
The caloric content of an apple baked with honey is equal to the caloric value of an apple with sugar, so during a diet honey can be added occasionally. The most popular is apple dessert with the addition of cottage cheese. The caloric content of a baked apple with curd can reach 150 units per 100 g. A portion of this dessert is too high to be consumed during diets.
You can spend less time preparing apples if baking them in a microwave oven. Calorie content of baked apples in the microwave will not differ from those baked in the oven.
