Apple Pear Bake

Apples are loaded with powerful antioxidants, including quercetin, catechin, phloridzin and chlorogenic acid, protect against breast and colon cancers, prevent kidney stones, and help to lower bad cholesterol while raising the good kind. Studies show that eating 100g of apples can give an antioxidant effect that is equal to taking about 1,500mg of vitamin C. Apples contain malic acid and tartaric acid that can help prevent disturbances of the liver and digestion. Pears have anti-oxidant and anti-carcinogen glutathione which help prevent high blood pressure and the high vitamin C and copper content in pears act as good anti-oxidants that protect cells from damages. The high content of pectin in pears & apples make it very useful in helping to lower cholesterol levels.

*Sucanat stands for SUgar CAne NATural. It's an organic sweetener made from 100% certified organic sugar cane. It's minimally processed to remain a natural and very tasty sweetener. After the sugar cane is harvested, it is pressed to squeeze out the cane juice. The juice is clarified, filtered, and evaporated to remove excess water. The resulting syrup is then crystallized, and it is rich in a molasses flavor plus the vitamins, minerals, and trace elements found in the sugar cane plant remain as a source of nutrition. *Turbinado sugar is from pure cane sugar extract. The term turbinado comes from the technique used in the making of this sugar. The sugar is made by crushing the freshly-cut sugar cane to squeeze out the juice, rich in, vitamins and minerals. The cane juice is evaporated and spun in a centrifuge cylinder or turbine to produce the large sparkling golden crystals.
