Will heating destroy the nutrients in the fruit? Your worry is not unreasonable. Vitamin C in fruit is afraid of heat. Eating it ripe will make it lose a lot. But the content of vitamin C in apples, pears and bananas is not high in winter, while pectin in apples, potassium in bananas and other prominent nutrients will not lose too much due to heating. These fruits are more suitable for heating.
Any method of cooking vegetables can be used to process fruits. For example, when cooking apple and hawthorn soup, boil the apple pieces to soft and rotten, and eat the pulp while drinking the soup, it feels good; you can also stir fry the apple slices and other light dishes; the baked apple slices are also delicious, remove the core and slice the apple, bake it soft on the pancakes, and then put on the brown sugar water and bake it for a while.
