Why this recipe is gentle
Gentle cooking softens the apples and makes them milder than raw fruit, and there is no added fat. Peeling removes the skin, which can be harder to digest.

Tips
- Fruit can be a personal trigger, so a small cooked portion may be tolerated differently than raw fruit.
- Peel the apples, since the skin is harder to digest.
- Serve lukewarm rather than cold if that feels easier on your stomach.
