PROS

This recipe is quick and easy to prepare, perfect for a simple dessert or snack.

The use of fresh apples instead of applesauce gives a crisp and juicy texture with a natural sweetness.

Honey can be a healthier alternative to sugar, and the lemons add a tart and refreshing flavor.

CONS

This recipe might not appeal to those who prefer softer and smoother textures of applesauce.

Make sure to select apples that hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for the best texture in this recipe.

Be careful not to overcook the apples, as they can quickly turn mushy and lose their texture.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Apples are an excellent source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which are essential for overall health and well-being.
The high fiber content in apples might aid in digestion and reduce the risk of certain diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.
Honey has antioxidant properties that might help to protect against cell damage and inflammation.
