Apples are a great source of vitamins A, C, and Carotene, among others. Mixed with the nuts, coconut, and other fiber-filled items in the baked apples dish and you have a win-win nosh.

While apples are a great part of a weight loss plan, they also work well to prevent cancer, heart disease, and diabetes in correct portions.

That same fiber absorbs proteins, carbohydrates, and fats and helps push these things through your body.
