* After washing, rinse your face with water to which apple cider vinegar has been added (1 teaspoon of vinegar per 0.5 liters of water).
* Make a compress from apple cider vinegar diluted with water (1 teaspoon of vinegar per 1 liter of water). Soak a gauze pad in the solution and apply it to your face and neck for a few minutes.
Apple face masks
* For all skin types. Peel the apple, grate it on a fine grater and squeeze out the juice. Place a gauze pad well moistened with juice or just a layer of cotton wool on your face for 15-20 minutes. Dry skin must first be lubricated with a rich cream. After removing the mask, wipe your face first with a damp and then with a dry cotton swab.
* For normal skin. Peel the apple, grate it and mix with a teaspoon of sour cream or olive oil and a teaspoon of starch. Apply the resulting mixture to your face and neck for 20-25 minutes, and then rinse with warm water.
* For oily skin. Grate 1-2 apples on a fine grater, apply the paste on your face for 15-20 minutes. After this, rinse off the mask with cool water. This mask refreshes and nourishes the skin, saturating it with vitamins. It also gives an astringent effect and tightens pores.
* For dry and normal skin. To a tablespoon of freshly squeezed apple juice, add half an egg yolk and a little flour or starch. Apply the mask to your face for 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
* For normal and aging skin. Rub the apple on a fine grater, mix the pulp with a tablespoon of cottage cheese, oatmeal and sour cream. Instead of sour cream, you can add olive oil, cream, milk. Apply the mask to your face and neck for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
* For dry, pale and sagging skin. Mix a finely grated apple with a teaspoon of honey and a tablespoon of chopped oatmeal. Apply the resulting mixture to your face for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
* For dry, irritated skin. Make a mask of 2 teaspoons of cottage cheese, a teaspoon of fresh apple juice, half an egg yolk and a teaspoon of camphor oil. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and apply the mixture to your face for 20 minutes. Then rinse off first with warm and then with cold water. The skin will immediately become softer and stop peeling.
* For easily reddened skin. A mask made from grated apple, a small amount of whole milk and egg yolk will help you here. Apply it on your face for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with cool water. Repeat the procedure at least once a week.
* For aging skin. Try a mask of mashed baked or boiled apple with the addition of a few drops of olive oil and a spoon of honey. This mask nourishes the skin well, makes it elastic and slows down the aging process.
* For tired skin. Grate one juicy apple. Dip a tablespoon of pulp into 40 ml of boiling cream for 2-3 minutes and then let it brew for 30 minutes. If you have oily skin, it is recommended to add beaten egg white to the mixture. Apply the mask to your face and neck for 20-30 minutes and then rinse with cool water. This procedure will refresh the skin and give it a healthy look.

Apples for health
Among fruits, apple is the most common product in household food, which people try to consume throughout the year. Apples are used to make jam, compotes, marmalade, jam, all kinds of drinks, or simply process them into juice; they are included in many culinary recipes. They also eat soaked, baked and pickled apples.
When consuming apples for dietary, therapeutic and prophylactic purposes, it should be borne in mind that, depending on the indications, it is necessary to select apple varieties that are most suitable for their bioactive properties. For example, fresh sweet and sour apples are recommended for hypacid gastritis, spastic colitis, dyskinesia (movement disorders) of the biliary tract with low acidity of gastric juice.
For acute colitis, pureed sweet apples are prescribed, 1.5-2.5 kg per day, in 5-6 doses.
Apple seeds contain a lot of iodine. They say that if you eat 5-6 apple seeds a day, your daily need for iodine will be fully satisfied.
Fruits baked in the ashes of a fire were given by folk healers to patients with pleurisy, and grated with fat they were applied as an ointment to cracks on the lips and nipples of nursing women for faster healing.
For obesity, fasting “apple days” are carried out, i.e. once a week the daily diet consists of only 1-1.5 kg of apples. The same “apple days” are useful for edema and hypertension. Apple therapy is a simple, effective and easily accessible way to treat acute diarrhea in children; depending on the age of the child (from 2 to 10 years), give from 600 to 1500 g of applesauce without sugar per day.

At the end of the day, you can take a herbal laxative. In exceptional cases, do an enema of warm water. Then take a hot bath (without soap). On the third day at 8 am, drink 480 ml of apple juice. After half an hour, drink 120 g of pure Provencal oil and 1 glass of diluted apple juice. If weakness appears, lie down and rest. Usually the third day diet gives results in an hour or two. Pebbles will begin to leave the body.
For hypovitaminosis (vitamin deficiency) in children, mixtures of fresh vegetable and fruit juices that are prepared before consumption are very useful: carrots, apples, beets (equal parts); apple - 6 parts, carrots - 4 parts; apple, carrots, lingonberries (equal parts, add sugar to taste); apple, carrots, chokeberry (equal parts, add sugar to taste); apple, red currant, blueberry (equal parts, add sugar to taste).

Apple juice strengthens the cardiovascular system well and is useful for people with mental work. For obesity, juice mixtures are made: apple juice - 100 ml, melon juice - 50 ml, tomato juice - 5 ml, lemon juice - 25 ml. Also taken for vitamin deficiency and anemia.
For atherosclerosis, hypertension, obesity, gallbladder diseases, drink 1/2 glass of apple juice 15-30 minutes before meals.
Preparing juice. The apples must be washed, doused with boiling water and grated on a coarse grater. Place the pulp in a linen napkin or gauze in two layers and squeeze out the juice. If the juice is acidic enough, you can sweeten it with sugar.

An apple core is also medicine
The fact that apples are an extremely valuable fruit has been known for a long time. If you believe the legend, the Greek goddesses quarreled to pieces over a golden apple with the inscription “most beautiful,” and the squabble eventually led to the Trojan War, during which more than one brave warrior perished.
ONE single apple can cover a quarter of our body’s daily requirement for vitamin C, which protects the skin from wrinkles and early aging. Apples also contain vitamin B2, which saves the face from acne, hair from dandruff, lips from cracks and sores, and vitamin B1, which is also present in juicy fruits, easily copes with fatigue, depression, irritability and insomnia.
In addition, apples are the most hated fruit for dentists, because these fruits can improve the color of tooth enamel, clean the spaces between teeth and cope with bacteria that cause tooth decay, depriving dentists of work and clientele. Therefore, lovers of sweets and those who simply want to keep their teeth in their mouths, and not in a special memorable box, are recommended to complete any meal with an apple, then you will not be afraid of any caries.
But nutritionists, on the contrary, treat apples with great respect and recommend this fruit to everyone who wants to get a wasp waist and slender hips. After all, apples not only remove waste and toxins from the body and break down bad cholesterol, but also become the basis of many weight loss diets. For example, if during the week you give yourself 4 apple days in the “every other day” mode, and on the remaining days of the week keep your diet within 1200 kcal, you can lose up to 5 kg. No more than 2 kg of apples per fasting day. And to prevent hunger, it is better to eat an apple every hour, that is, gnawing on them almost without interruption.
The healing properties of apple
Apples have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, strengthen blood vessels, and rid the body of toxins and heavy metal salts. This amazing fruit can serve as both a laxative and a fixative (apple juice, baked apples, and raw fruits eaten on an empty stomach help with constipation). And for stomach upsets, peeled, slightly weathered and grated apples help out.
There is evidence that apples serve as an effective means of protecting the human body from cancer, as well as many heart and vascular diseases, including stroke. Apples are very useful for anemia, vitamin deficiency, hypertension, atherosclerosis, liver and kidney diseases, arthritis, gout.
Sour apple varieties contain a lot of iron and copper salts, which helps with anemia. Sweet varieties contain special antimicrobial substances and pectin and are perfect for treating intestinal inflammation and colitis.
Traditional medicine knows many recipes based on apples against various diseases. So, for a sore throat, it is recommended to mix gruel of grated apples with honey in equal proportions and take the tasty medicine 2-3 teaspoons 2-3 times a day.
For laryngitis, you should stock up on apple leaves. A tablespoon of leaves is poured into a glass of boiling water, infused in a thermos and used as a rinse. And if you are tormented by a cough, prepare apple compote. To do this, cut 3 unpeeled apples into slices, add a liter of water and boil for 35 minutes. Compote should be drunk warm, 2-3 cups per day.
Patients with hypertension are advised to drink half a glass of apple juice daily 20-30 minutes before meals or make apple tea. To do this, cut 3 medium-sized unpeeled apples into slices, pour a liter of boiling water, cook for 10 minutes over low heat, adding sugar to taste.
Cheeks like apples
You can quickly refresh dull skin by massaging your face and neck with a slice of apple.
After washing, it is useful to rinse any skin type with water to which apple juice has been added (1 teaspoon per 0.5 liter of water).
For oily facial skin, this mask is suitable: mix two tablespoons of grated sour apple with a teaspoon of potato starch, apply for 15-20 minutes, rinse with warm water. You can eliminate oily shine on your face and tighten pores by mixing a tablespoon of baked or boiled apple pulp with a tablespoon of whipped egg white. The mask is applied to the face for 15-20 minutes, rinsed off with cool water.
For dry, irritated skin, it is useful to make the following mask: mix 2 teaspoons of cottage cheese with a teaspoon of apple juice, add 1/2 yolk and a teaspoon of olive oil, stir everything well. The mask is kept on the face for 15-20 minutes and washed off first with warm and then cold water.

And to get rid of cracked heels, cut an apple into cubes, boil it in a small amount of water to make a puree, apply it to the feet, cover with gauze and wash off after 20 minutes.
Eat or hide?
Unfortunately, like all good things, the apple season ends sooner or later, and if so, it makes sense to stock up on some supplies. However, not all varieties of apples can be stored, and therefore it is better to eat some immediately and postpone others for later.
Conventionally, apples can be divided into summer, autumn and winter.
Summer varieties include: yellow-green and sweet-sour-tasting melba, more sour papirovka and everyone’s favorite white liqueur with a soft sourness. These apples are poorly stored (no more than a month) and are not transportable.
Autumn apples are mostly yellow with a reddish blush. These are boletus and aport, sweet and sour in taste, and sweet kandil-sinap. Such apples can be stored for 3-4 months.
Winter apples are yellow sour Antonovka, green sweet and sour Simirenka, dark red sweet Starkrimson and red sweet and sour Jonathan. These are the most shelf-stable varieties; they can be stored until spring, that is, about 6 months. It is from them that it is best to make preparations - juices, compotes, homemade wines.

Apples are perhaps the very first fruit a newborn baby tastes. They have something in common with bread - it is not a delicacy, but rather an essential food product that contains a lot of useful and necessary substances for us. Everyone can and should eat apples - children and adults, pregnant and lactating women, healthy and sick. Moreover, there are so many varieties of this universal fruit that everyone can easily choose the one that suits their taste and color. Apples very rarely cause allergies, and only some sour varieties are contraindicated for people with gastrointestinal diseases. But even in this case, it is not necessary to completely give up apples, since apples can be baked in the oven, or you can also prepare a decoction of apples or apple peels.
Chemical composition
What substances are contained in apples? According to numerous studies, apples contain all the vitamins a person needs: A, B, E, C, H, K, PP.
They contain a lot of micro- and macroelements: zinc, iron, potassium, calcium, manganese, magnesium, chlorine, sulfur, phosphorus, sodium. The seeds of one apple contain the daily requirement of iodine.
Natural antibiotics have been identified in apples - phytoncides that can destroy influenza viruses, dysentery pathogens, and Staphylococcus aureus.
Pectins contained in apples bind harmful substances in the gastrointestinal tract and remove them from the body. Therefore, apples can and should be eaten for weight loss and cleansing of toxins and waste.
Apple fiber activates intestinal function, prevents constipation, and serves as a good preventive measure for intestinal cancer.
Citric, malic and tartaric acids, which are also found in apples, do not allow the processes of rotting and fermentation to develop in the intestines. The activity of the gastrointestinal tract under the influence of these acids is activated and normalized.
Tannins are a good preventative against urolithiasis and gout. Thanks to tannins, uric acid salts are promptly removed from the body, joints and internal organs remain clean and healthy.
The peel of apples is also very useful; it contains a lot of the antioxidant quercetin, which has a rejuvenating effect on the body. Some scientists claim that the peel of apples contains more useful substances than the rest of its parts.
The ratio: benefit and harm in apples is clearly on the side of benefit. These fruits strengthen the heart muscle and vision, reduce cholesterol levels, normalize the acidity of gastric juice, activate metabolism, lower blood sugar levels, prevent the development of anemia and Alzheimer's disease, act as a good diuretic and choleretic agent,
As for the harm from apples, they are contraindicated in fresh form during exacerbations of cholelithiasis, acute pancreatitis, as well as after surgery on the stomach, liver and intestines.
If for some reason a person cannot eat fresh apples, there is a way out - these fruits remain just as tasty and healthy even after heat treatment. Their chemical composition remains almost unchanged.
Heat treatment
We all know such a food product as dried fruits. They are most often sold in the form of mixtures of sun-dried or dried apples, pears, prunes, raisins, dried apricots - the compote from them turns out to be very tasty and healthy. However, in case of an allergy to some of these components, only dried apples can be used to prepare decoctions, and you can make them yourself, in the oven.
Dried apples contain no less vitamins and minerals than fresh ones. They saturate the body with useful substances, and at the same time do not have a significant effect on the gastrointestinal tract. All this suggests that the benefits of dried apples are no less than those of fresh ones.
But apples sold in bags are dried in production using sulfur dioxide, and the E220 index is indicated on the packaging - such apples should not be consumed by pregnant or lactating women, they should not be given to infants.
No matter how beautiful and large apples from supermarkets are, they are less useful than modest apples grown in the country or on a personal plot. These are the apples that should be preferred in the kitchen, since they are grown without nitrates and chemical fertilizers. Especially when it comes to the nutrition of a child, pregnant and lactating women.
Even the carrion of country apples for drying and preparing decoctions is healthier and better than large and beautiful imported apples stuffed with chemicals.
It is best to dry the apples yourself, in a regular home oven. They are cut into thin slices no more than 1 cm thick, placed on a baking sheet and placed in the oven. For the first 2 hours they are dried at a temperature of 50 degrees. The second two hours are at a temperature of 70 degrees, and at the end another 2 hours are at a temperature of 80 degrees.
The finished product should be placed in a paper bag or porcelain bowl.
Dried apples can be eaten plain or made into a decoction. To do this, pour 2 tablespoons of apples into 1 cup of boiling water, cook over low heat for 5 minutes, then cool and drink like a regular compote. You can add sugar or honey to the broth to taste.
Treatment of children
A decoction of dried apples is also useful for infants aged 2 months and older. At the same time, it is necessary to observe how the baby’s body reacts to such a supplement; perhaps at first he will have problems with the stomach and intestines. You should not give more than 10 ml of decoction per day - the baby should be accustomed to feeding gradually. Over time, the volume of the decoction can be increased, and the decoction itself can be prepared not only from apples, but also from other dried fruits - raisins, dried apricots, prunes.
At first there is no need to sweeten the broth, but when the child is 6 months old, sugar can already be used, albeit in very small quantities.
It is not advisable to give chemicals and drugs to children under one year of age, but at the same time they also have a cough that needs to be treated with something. And here you need to remember a simple folk recipe - a cough infusion made from apple peel.
It is very easy to make - 15 grams of apple peels need to be poured into 250 ml of boiling water, left for 10-15 minutes, then divided into three parts and drunk warm 3 times a day before meals. This medicine can be given to infants from 6 months.
All parents know how difficult it is to treat colds in young children, because not all medications can be given to them. A good cough remedy for babies can be made from boiled potatoes. The potatoes are boiled, thoroughly kneaded, placed warm in a bag and applied to the bronchi. Cover the top with a warm, soft diaper, folded several times; the compress should fit snugly to the body.
A small child will benefit from potato inhalation; he needs to breathe in the steam from the pan in which the potatoes were boiled. Of course, you need to ensure that the child does not get burned; the temperature of the water in the container should not be higher than 70 degrees. Inhalation relieves even severe dry coughs.
Cough in children can be treated with other methods and folk remedies, for example, a good cough remedy is onion, which is a natural antiseptic.
To do this, you need to grate the onion on a fine grater, squeeze the juice out of it, mix it with liquid honey in a 1x1 ratio and give the child 0.5 tsp. every 2 hours.
You can also make a cough medicine from onions with sugar - cut the onion, add sugar, and wait until it releases juice. Onion juice is given to children in the same way as in the previous recipe.

According to experts, apples seem to contain elements of the periodic table.
However, under normal storage conditions, they retain their nutritional value only during 2 months of ripening. Therefore, you can provide yourself with such a storehouse of healing substances until the next harvest using such a simple method as drying fruits. Contrary to the opinion that dried apples contain fewer nutrients, this analogue of fresh fruits is a serious competitor to the latter. Our article will help you understand what the “zest” of dried apples is, how to prepare and use them correctly, and contraindications.
Heat treatment of apples only involves getting rid of liquid while preserving all the beneficial properties. At the same time, the vitamins, acids, and minerals they contain do not lose their pristine properties even until the next harvest.
To be even more convincing, check out the composition of the old and young substances important for health in these dried fruits, namely:
- Minerals(iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, copper, selenium, phosphorus, iodine). Without them, the normal functioning of the circulatory, cardiac, hormonal systems and metabolic processes is impossible.
- Vitamins A, groups B, C, E, K, PP, beta-carotene. Thanks to this, you can replenish vitamin deficiencies from fresh fruits.
- Sugar(glucose, sucrose, fructose) make up up to 12% of the total contents of the apple. They have a positive effect on the restoration of strength after physical and intellectual stress, and the functions of the nervous system.
- Polysaccharide pectin substances, without which metabolic and digestive processes and normalization of cholesterol levels become more complicated.
- Organic acids(ascorbic, arabic, tartaric, citric, chlorogenic, apple). These about 3% of the total product maintain the acid-base balance in the body and are reliable “enemies” of infection.
- Tannins(catechins, tannids, flavonoids), which have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant properties. They concentrate in the peel of dried apples, protect cells from damage, and increase resistance to free radicals.
- Phytoncides, preventing the development of various fungi and bacteria of a pathogenic nature.
The value of dried apples also lies in the long-term preservation of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, starch, and essential oils.
The calorie content of dried apples remains the same as that of fresh apples of any variety and color. So a fresh fruit weighing up to 120 g and a lighter one dried until crisp will have 60 kcal each. And 100 g of dried apples contain up to 250 kcal. Only humid storage conditions can affect the reduction in calorie content.
Useful properties of dried apples
These numerous valuable components of dried apples help the human body with various diseases. Thanks to fiber, the development of beneficial microflora in the intestines is activated, the removal of toxins, and constipation is prevented. And if, with high acidity, the use of fresh fruits has limitations, then the benefits of drying are undeniable.
The presence of iron in dried apples makes them very useful for anemia, and phosphorus – for brain function. B vitamins improve metabolism and stabilize the nervous system. These dried fruits also help the body absorb calcium, which is of decisive importance in pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. This mineral also has a beneficial effect on the activity of the urinary system and the regularity of fluid excretion from the body.
Those who want to lose weight can safely include dried apples in their diet. Such dried fruits are very effective as a fragrant, tasty preventative against obesity. Eating only about 10 slices of dried apples can be an alternative to dinner or sweets.
They can boost immunity, improve memory, increase hemoglobin and prevent premature aging, just like fresh “rejuvenating” apples.
We invite you to get acquainted with some of the intricacies of using dried apples for certain diseases.
When you have diabetes, the metabolic processes of carbohydrates and water are disrupted in the body. As a result, the functioning of the pancreas is disrupted. Based on this, endocrinologists suggest consuming dried apples with extreme caution. In particular, it is not recommended to take them directly into food. This is explained by the fact that during drying, moisture evaporates and the concentration of sucrose (glucose) increases. However, this does not mean a complete ban on such healthy dried fruits.
It is advisable to use compotes from this tasty preparation without adding sugar and other dried fruits. A light, tasty and healthy drink prepared in this way can even be drunk instead of water.
To decide whether to include dried apples in their diet, diabetics should consult their doctor or nutritionist.
For pancreatitis
In case of inflammatory processes of the pancreas (pancreatitis), a special diet is prescribed. And this significantly reduces the list of acceptable foods, including vitamins. Since this disease in the acute phase involves a rather meager diet, even to the point of starvation, and foods with fiber are excluded. But for chronic pancreatitis, dried apples are one of the few allowed dried fruits.
Those suffering from pancreatitis should exercise moderation when consuming them. This applies to both the quantity and the method of preparation that is gentle on the pancreas. It is best to cook dried apple compote with the addition of a small amount of sugar or a high-quality substitute. According to users, this drink is tasty, aromatic, and absolutely harmless.
The easiest way to use these dried fruits is to replace them with your evening meal. To reduce calorie content, it is recommended to soak 100 g of dried apples before consumption and then use them without combining them with other products. Such daily use of dried apples without radical changes in diet allows you to lose up to 3 kg in 1 month.
Along with this, you can use some types of diets where dried apples are the “first fiddle”, namely:
- Apple diet includes the use of 200 g of this drying along with any varieties of nuts for 5 days. The daily portion, divided into 10 parts, is taken every hour. In parallel with this, be sure to drink a lot of still water and unsweetened tea (preferably green). During this time, it is quite possible to get rid of up to 4 kg of excess weight.
- Fasting day involves eating 200 g of dried apples once a week throughout the day. However, the requirement to drink plenty of fluids remains in effect. This method allows you to maintain your weight at the desired level.
- Apple-kefir diet lasts 3 days and helps to lose up to 2 kg of weight. To do this, you need to drink 1 glass of kefir (fat content up to 2.5%) 5-6 times a day, and then eat 4 slices of dried apples. It is important that the drying agent is not swallowed whole, but is chewed well. The maximum permissible volume of kefir should not exceed 2 liters. Avoid using low-fat kefir.
It should be remembered that apple drying will be an alternative to grueling weight loss by refusing to eat other foods.
Dried apples for children in the form of drinks are introduced into the diet along with special vegetable and fruit mixtures. Starting from 6 months, infants can already be given a very healthy compote of dried apples. This drink is especially recommended for children with stomach colic and intestinal diseases.
Compote for babies
The recipe for making compote for babies is quite simple.
For it you will need dried, but not overdried apples (20 g), water (250 ml). After washing and soaking for 10 minutes, the dried fruits are poured with boiling water, cooked over medium heat for about 10 minutes and left covered for up to half an hour. After this, the compote is filtered and cooled to room temperature. You can sweeten it a little by adding a little honey.
Please note that this drink should be introduced into your diet carefully. Therefore, first give your baby 1 teaspoon to check the body’s reaction. In the absence of any abnormalities (redness, rash, etc.), the dose is increased to 2 spoons per dose. The daily norm is up to 100 ml. The drink can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days.
When treating your child to a healthy drink made from these dried fruits, avoid mixing apples with other ingredients. This will allow his body to quickly get used to the drink. It is better to gradually supplement this compote with prunes, dried apricots, and raisins after a couple of months.
Consumption of dried apples during pregnancy and breastfeeding
You can “charge” your baby for health with the help of these dried fruits even during the period of pregnancy and lactation. However, here, as in all other cases, it is important to know when to stop.
Pregnant women should use organic products prepared at home rather than store-bought ones. The refusal of drying from the retail chain is due to the fact that unnatural allergenic additives may be used here. Therefore, it is better to prepare them yourself at home. This can be done this way:
- Cut fresh apples into slices up to 1 cm thick.
- Dry until completely cooked.
- After cooling, the tasty healthy apples are ready to eat.
One of the most accessible methods is dosed (up to 25 g) daily consumption of dried fruits. During pregnancy, it is also useful to brew dried apples together with rose hips (1 tablespoon of each ingredient). After infusion for half an hour, you can drink up to 3 glasses of this drug daily.
These dried fruits have a positive effect on the quality of breast milk and its consistency without any side effects in the baby. At the same time, fresh fruits can cause an increase in the acidity of the mother’s diet, and the appearance of colic in the child.
It should be remembered that excessive consumption of dried fruits can affect the weight gain of the expectant mother.
A description of the merits of dried apples would be incomplete without a caveat about the “other side of the coin.” After all, their reckless use can be fraught with certain pathologies of the body. Here we are talking, however, not about a complete exception, but about restrictions.
Thus, the high calorie content, the proportion of sugar, and fiber in dried apples suggest restrictions for diabetics and those who suffer from obesity, gastric ulcers, and acute pancreatitis. The acids present in the product can irritate the gastric mucosa. And this is especially harmful for gastritis.
This also has a negative effect in the presence of dental caries. Here, taking this valuable product in its pure form is very doubtful, and compotes are more appropriate.
Excessive consumption of dried apples by pregnant and lactating women is excluded due to the possible appearance of unnecessary weight and toxicosis. And one more nuance - you should be careful with the seeds in them. The fact is that, along with useful vitamin B17 and iodine, they also contain poisonous hydrocyanic acid, which, if in excess, can cause serious consequences. It is safe for health to eat no more than 5 seeds.
In all cases, it is very important to follow the advice of doctors about the amount and time of consumption (before or after meals) depending on the type of disease. But a normal gastrointestinal tract can also react to uncontrolled eating of such a product with constipation or diarrhea, or stomach spasms.
Even the absence of any diseases does not imply excessive consumption of dried apples. Here we place special emphasis on purchased options. After all, unscrupulous manufacturers often use the preservative toxic sulfur dioxide to make dried fruits more attractive. Many people react very sensitively to it. In this case, symptoms such as headache, nausea, cough, sore throat may appear.
And if we add to these problems such a mercantile point as the price for 1 kg from 115 to 800 rubles, then it is much more profitable and safer to dry apples with your own hands.
Home drying of these fruits requires following simple steps such as:
- Selection of fruits. These should be juicy, sweet and sour apples with elastic, not watery, flesh. Preference should be given to unripe hearths, since compared to mature ones they have more disinfecting properties. Too sweet varieties make drying crumbly, and baked sugar forms dark spots. The highest yield is given by apples with thin skin and a small seed pod. The varieties Antonovka, Aport, White filling, Korichnevoe, Pepin, Titovka are best suited for drying.
- Preparing apples consists of rinsing with running water and drying. After this, if purchased fruits are used for drying, they are peeled. Organic fruits grown at home do not need to be peeled. Next, all damage and the core are removed. Then the apples are cut into slices of arbitrary shape of the same size, up to 7 mm thick.
Several methods are used to protect the workpiece from oxidation. This can be boiling (blanching) in boiling water or immersing in weak salt or vinegar solutions for several minutes. When planning to use a future product in desserts, short-term aging of the slices in sugar or honey syrup is used. On the eve of drying, they are placed in the refrigerator overnight.
Remember, to avoid premature oxidation, fresh apples are processed in small parts!
Methods for drying apples
The choice of one method or another depends on the preferences of the harvesters, living conditions and weather. The most popular among gardeners is drying in the sun (air), in the oven, electric dryer or microwave. Each of them has its own characteristics.
Drying apples in the sun
This is the least economical method and does not require any energy resources. It is carried out in summer at high air temperatures.
Place the sliced apples on a flat surface (baking tray, mesh, etc.), cover with gauze, and place in a sunny place or partial shade. In addition, you can string the slices on a strong thread, cover with gauze and hang in the sun, under a canopy.
Every day, the future drying is turned over and the absence of penetration of various insects under the gauze is checked. To fully prepare them, it will take 3-4 sunny days and a little more in partial shade. It is necessary to ensure that the raw materials do not get exposed to rain at this time.
Drying apples in the oven
Initially, the baking sheet is covered with parchment and placed in the oven preheated to 80 °C. After heating for half an hour, the temperature is reduced by 10 °C and apple slices are laid out on a baking sheet to evaporate the moisture from them. This lasts approximately for 5 hours. After this, the slices are turned over on the other side, and the temperature is reduced to 50 °C. In this mode, they are dried for another 4 hours with constant turning.
Drying in an electric dryer carried out at temperatures up to 60 °C for 8 hours. Place apple slices in a tray in one layer.
Microwave drying lasts only up to 5 minutes. With a power of 200 W, you need to constantly turn the laid out slices 2 times in 1 minute. However, we are talking about the duration of drying of one small batch of milkings. When quickly harvesting a small number of apples, this is considered the fastest drying method.
In all cases, the readiness of drying is characterized by the absence of juice release, pulp stickiness, and fragility when squeezed in the hand. The skin of finished products should become dull. At the same time, dried apples turn light brown in the oven, and creamy in the microwave.
When choosing any of the methods, it is important to take into account the need for the quantity of workpiece. After all, dried apples left unused may lose their value. Therefore, one of the guidelines here can be data on the drying yield of 1 kg of fresh apples up to 120 g. This is due to their dehydration up to 90% of the total weight. But vitamins and minerals are preserved as much as possible under natural conditions (air, sun).
Among the various ways to use these affordable vitamin and mineral concentrates, classic drinks are especially popular. After all, even during heat treatment they retain the maximum amount of their beneficial properties. Therefore, they are included in the diet, both for medicinal purposes and for the prevention of diseases.
Compote
Prepared from just 0.5 cups of dried apples per 1 liter of water. After regrading, the drying material is washed and dried. When placed in boiling syrup, the sweetened drink is prepared within 30 minutes. This time can be reduced by pouring cold water over the slices and cooking for only 15 minutes.
This drink can be supplemented with cloves, cinnamon, chamomile, lemon balm, and lemon juice. One of the striking examples of such a drink is Christmas uzvar. When combining them with other fruits, spices, and herbs, you need to take into account the duration of their preparation. Combination options depend on individual tastes, indications, and doctor’s recommendations.
Decoction
A decoction of dried apples differs from compote in the absence of sweet additives in the form of sugar, fructose, and honey. This is not only a healthy drink to quench your thirst, but also an effective invigorating agent. Even avid coffee lovers appreciate it.
To prepare it, you need to bring 200 g of drying powder to a boil with 1.5 liters of water and cook over low heat for 40 minutes. Then cool the resulting liquid and strain. To saturate the broth with vitamin C, add honey and freshly squeezed lemon juice (one tablespoon each). When warm, you can drink it instead of tea during cold weather. And in the summer, when stored in the refrigerator, it will be a pleasant refreshing drink.
Infusion
An infusion of dried apples is a worthy competitor to medications against colds and seasonal vitamin deficiency. With the help of this affordable drink, you can saturate a weakened body with vitamins and quench the thirst that occurs during illness. This is an excellent addition to the treatment recommended by your doctor.
It is prepared very simply, without cooking. Several slices are poured with boiling water, a little lemon and honey are added. The volume of one preparation is calculated for 1 day.
