This recipe is basically applesauce but cooked in such a way as to bring out the pectin from the apple skins, which is a wonderful prebiotic, and very nourishing for the microbiome.
The pectin in the applesauce increases the level of a powerful anti-inflammatory in your gut called intestinal alkaline phosphatase.
When cooked, the pectin in the skin is easily accessible to the microbiome in the colon and helps to repopulate beneficial flora and helps heal leaky gut as well as burn fat.
2 large spoonfuls a day will give the best results
Serve on top of yogurt with some walnuts for a healthy breakfast of snack.
Also delicious served with roast chicken or pork chops.
Beneficial for the entire family!
