Stewed apples are more than just a comforting, naturally sweet treat—they’re a powerful support for digestive health. When apples are gently cooked, they release a type of soluble fiber called pectin, which acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria and promoting a balanced gut microbiota.

Apples also contain polyphenols, natural compounds that have been shown to support the gut lining, reduce inflammation, and improve intestinal barrier function—all of which are essential for anyone dealing with IBS, bloating, or leaky gut symptoms.

Stewing the apples makes them easier to digest than raw, reducing the digestive load and increasing their soothing properties. Add cinnamon for extra anti-inflammatory and blood-sugar-balancing benefits.

Enjoy them warm on their own, stirred into porridge, or with a dollop of coconut yogurt for a satisfying snack or breakfast that supports both digestion and immune health.
