Helps with these side effects: nausea, constipation, sore mouth, difficulty swallowing, taste alterations
This simple dessert has a mild taste and is easy to prepare. For more flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of raisins or chopped nuts to the filling or sprinkle the apples with crumbled ginger snap cookies. If tolerated, consider adding 1/8 teaspoon of grated lemon zest to the filling to add an extra touch of flavor.
To core apples and cut away the flesh around the core more easily, use a curved grapefruit knife, saw-toothed grapefruit spoon, or melon baller.
The apples can be served warm or cold. If you have leftovers, make homemade applesauce by puréeing the apples and cooking liquid in a food processor. Applesauce makes a great snack or can be enjoyed as a topping on angel food cake or with yogurt for breakfast.
Before making any drastic changes to your diet, be sure to talk with your doctor or nutritionist. While these recipes may relieve common symptoms, your doctor may have you on a specific diet for your treatment plan. If you have questions about what’s safe to eat or drink, your doctor or care team are ready to help.
