Apple is such a versatile fruit that has been cherished for centuries. The adage "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" highlights its timeless appeal—from pickles in India and traditional medicines in Japan to jams and baked desserts in Europe. It is also noted that "apples helped Newton discover gravity," while ancient Vedic scriptures credit Bhaskaracarya with early insights on gravitational principles.

I love making crumbles with fresh, in-season apples. Their richness in malic acid is excellent for the liver and digestive system. Consuming one apple daily may help lower the risk of diabetes, and thanks to its antioxidants, it also strengthens the immune system and enhances brain health. According to Ayurveda, apple possesses a rechana (laxative) quality, and when eaten first thing in the morning, it aids digestion naturally.

This raw dessert celebrates the apple's natural sweetness while combining it with the grounding energy of nuts and the subtle richness of cacao—creating a dessert that nourishes both body and spirit.

Nutritional Benefits: Apples are rich in malic acid, which supports liver function and digestive health, while their natural antioxidants strengthen the immune system and enhance brain health. This layered dessert combines fresh green apples with mixed nuts and cacao for a naturally sweet, fiber-rich treat.
