Jesen miriše na jabuke sa cimetom – i one tokom jesenje sezone postaju naš omiljeni dodatak različitim jelima. Jabuke koje su začinjene cimetom mogu da se iskoriste kao dekoracija za ovsene kaše, chia pudinge, vafle, palačinke i druge obroke. Međutim, pored neodoljivog ukusa, jabuke sa cimetom mogu da imaju i brojne benefite. Upravo zbog toga, ova cozy poslastica postaje naša (gastro) opsesija tokom jeseni – i pripremamo je u velikim količinama.
Ako još uvek niste isprobali jabuke sa cimetom, učinite to već danas.
Ovaj dodatak jelima donosi spoj kuvanih jabuka koje pomažu u detoksikaciji i poboljšavaju varenje, te cimeta koji je bogat antioksidansima i reguliše zdrav nivo šećera u krvi. Pored toga, ovaj spoj pomaže u smanjenju upala – te je idealna topla poslastica tokom nešto hladnijih dana u godini. Jabuke sa cimetom greju organizam i predstavljaju kombinaciju koja može da se jede sama po sebi, ali i uz druga jela.
Stoga nije nimalo začuđujuće što je ova kombinacija privukla veliku pažnju na društvenim mrežama. Recept koji sledimo smo pronašli na TikTok profilu @emilymnutrition – i donosimo ga u nastavku.
@emilymnutrition Cinnamon Stewed Apples (no added sugar) A nourishing fall staple that’s perfect for topping yogurt, chia pudding, pancakes or just enjoy as is🥰 - stewed apples are packed with pectin, a prebiotic fibre that feeds your good bacteria and can help reduce inflammation - the cooking process makes the apples easier to digest and can help the body absorb nutrients more efficiently - cinnamon is rich in antioxidants and supports healthy blood sugar levels Recipe: 2 large apples, cored and chopped (~3-4 cups)* 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp water 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1/2-1 tsp ground cinnamon Pinch sea salt 1 tsp arrowroot starch/flour (or cornstarch) 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1. Add the apples, 1/4 cup of water, apple cider vinegar and cinnamon to a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just tender, about 10-15 minutes (timing will depend on the type of apple you use and how big the pieces are). 2. Meanwhile, add the arrowroot and 1 tbsp of water in a small bowl and stir to combine. Once apples are tender, add to the saucepan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the liquid thickens. Enjoy! *I prefer using honeycrisp apples for this recipe, but Granny Smith, Fuji, Pink Lady or other firm varieties would work well! *I don’t find it necessary to add any sugar, but if you’re looking to make them sweeter, feel free to add some maple syrup #stewedapples #fallrecipes #guthealth #gutsupport

Sastojci
- dve veće jabuke (očišćene i iseckane)
- 1/4 šolje i kašika vode
- pola kašike jabukovog sirćeta
- kašičica mlevenog cimeta
- prstohvat soli
- kašičica kukuruznog skroba
- pola kašičice ekstrakta vanile
Priprema
U šerpu stavite jabuke, 1/4 šolje vode, jabukovo sirće, so, ekstrakt vanile i cimet, te kuvajte na srednjoj vatri do ključanja. Nakon toga, smanjite jačinu vatre, poklopite lonac i kuvajte jabuke sve dok ne omekšaju. Po potrebi, povremeno promešajte. U zavisnosti od vrste jabuka, one bi trebalo da omekšaju za 10 ili 15 minuta.
U međuvremenu, u posudi sjedinite kašiku vode i kukuruzni skrob. Kada jabuke omekšaju, u lonac dodajte kukuruzni skrob i vodu. Kuvajte još nekoliko minuta – dok se tečnost ne zgusne. Jabuke sa cimetom servirajte uz željeni obrok.
