My kids love junk food and candies. To encourage them eat more fruits, I get them involved in food preparation to teach the goodness of natural foods. Kids can also make this quick and easy healthy snack without much help from adults.

Apples are good for the whole family; it is a delicious way to introduce fiber into your kid's diet. A medium size apple has about 5 grams of fiber and this is more than most breakfast cereals.

Besides, apples are rich in Vitamin C, an antioxidant that protect the body's cells and keep young bodies healthy.

Steamed Apple Recipe

You will need theee ingredients:

5 apples, washed (Red Delicious or other varieties)

½ cup brown sugar

Dash of cinnamon

4 tablespoon butter

1½ ounces of raisins

 

For syrup:

3 tablespoon brown sugar

½ cup water

 

How to steam apples:

 

Wash apples and core, leaving the bottom.

 

Prick entire surface evenly with a fork to prevent it from bursting while steaming.

 

Fill the centers with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and raisins.

 

To make the syrup, combine water and sugar in saucepan. Heat till boiling and leave to cool.

 

Wrap each apple in aluminum foil and pour syrup in the center. Close each top.

 

Place wrapped apples in a saucepan and pour boiling water to one-third of apples. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until apples are tender.
