Pectin, the fiber apples are known for, is a soluble fiber that holds water and forms a gel. Gut bacteria also use it, producing short-chain fatty acids as they ferment it.
Apples add sweetness and moisture while also bringing in fruit-based soluble fiber.
How to serve
Remove the seeds and core and use the flesh. The seeds contain amygdalin, which can turn into cyanide compounds in the body if chewed and crushed.
