I don't see how they can be bad for you, they are just apples that are warm and squidgy but I'm surebody can give you a better answer.

I'm not a big fan of them either. If you add sugar to them then they won't be as good for you.

They're absolutely healthy for you as long as you don't do the classic and cover them in butterscotch sauce!!!! They'd be really good if stuffed with dried fruit- raisins, apricots etc. and another nice idea is to cut the apple into slices (not too thick) and put then on a baking tray with the oven set really low at 50 degrees C for as long as you can and then leave them there overnight with the oven off and cooling. This is also good with oranges as it intensifies the flavour making them really sweet without sugar! Enjoy!

So long as you're not coring them then jamming the hole with cinnamon sugar they're no worse for you than a regular apple.

I didn't say 'is it alright', I said 'are they healthy'. Read posts before commenting.

The cooking probably gets rid of a lot of what makes apples a health food. Raw fruit and veg always has more vitamins and all that then cooked. Obviously don't eat things that can't be eaten raw, but it's why steamed veg is better for you than boiled veg, say.

But yeah, as others have said, unless you pile it with sugar, it's perfectly healthy.

Do you mean once theyre baked? Because eating cooking apples, uncooked, isnt good for you!

of course not, the baking genetically mutates the apple into pure lard :rolleyes:

Why not? They taste much better raw, and I've never noticed any adverse effects.

She means cooking apples specifically.

You're not supposed to eat those raw, but I'm not sure why, or how much damage they'd do.

Is that because they're quite sour and they can cause a stomach upset? Although I've never had a problem... lol

Also, this is going slightly o/t, but cooked tomotoes and tomotoe sauce are better for you than raw tomotoes...
