It should come as no surprise that apples, the fruit renowned for keeping the doctor away, are incredibly good for you. These fruits contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, as well as vitamin C and phytochemicals — nutrients that likely give apples anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering properties. At around 95 calories with 4 grams (g) of total fiber, a medium-size apple makes a relatively low-calorie but satisfying sweet treat on its own, and can be a healthy addition to recipes both sweet and savory.
In addition to being delicious and highly nutritious, apples are highly portable and have a longer shelf life than many other kinds of fruit, making them a great grab-and-go snack. Apples are also extremely versatile, enjoyable fresh from the tree, baked into pies, juiced, dried, baked, and more.
