1. Nutrient-rich ingredients
The main ingredients of spicy apple crumble, such as oatmeal, ground almonds, sesame and cinnamon, provide a treasure trove of essential nutrients. Porridge is rich in fiber, which aids digestion and ensures a longer-lasting feeling of fullness. Ground almonds provide a healthy dose of protein and healthy fats, while sesame seeds are full of minerals like calcium and iron. In addition to providing a warm and soothing taste, cinnamon also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
2. Apples for good health
Apples are the star of this dessert and come with numerous health benefits. With their high fiber content, apples can help with weight control, promote a healthy gut and regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, apples are a great source of vitamins C and A, which support immune function and maintain healthy skin. The natural sweetness of apples allows you to reduce the amount of added sugar in your recipe, promoting healthier eating habits.
3. Zesty Orange and Cardamom Boost
The addition of orange peel and juice gives the spicy apple crumble a tangy freshness, refines its taste and provides an extra portion of nutrients. Oranges are known for their high vitamin C content, which boosts the immune system and supports collagen production. Additionally, cardamom pods not only impart a delightful aroma, but also provide various health benefits including improved digestion, detoxification, and potential anti-inflammatory effects.
4. Satisfying enjoyment
Beyond the specific health benefits of each ingredient, the flavorful apple crumble provides a satisfying treat without compromising on taste.
