Steamed Apples with Cinnamon

When it comes to soothing the digestive system and reducing inflammation, sometimes the simplest recipes are the most effective. Steamed Apples with Cinnamon are soft, naturally sweet, and packed with nutrients that support your gut and immune system — making them perfect for anyone managing autoimmune conditions or sensitive digestion.

This recipe not only promotes gut comfort but also helps balance blood sugar, thanks to the pectin in apples and the powerful anti-inflammatory properties of cinnamon. It’s an easy, nourishing dish you can enjoy warm for breakfast, as a snack, or even a light dessert.

Why This Recipe Supports Gut Health

  1. Apple Pectin: A type of soluble fiber that feeds good gut bacteria and supports healthy bowel movements.
  2. Cinnamon: Contains antioxidants and compounds that help lower inflammation and stabilize blood sugar.
  3. Gentle Cooking: Steaming breaks down the apples’ fibers, making them easier to digest for those with gut sensitivities.

Ingredients

  1. 2 medium apples (organic preferred)
  2. ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  3. ½ cup water
  4. 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples
     Wash, peel, and core the apples. Cut them into slices or chunks.
  2. Steam Gently
     Place apples in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 5–7 minutes until soft but not mushy.
  3. Add Cinnamon & Sweetener
     Transfer apples to a bowl, sprinkle with cinnamon, and drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired.
  4. Serve Warm
