Can i ask

I think you do need to syn if you grate it, cook it or puree it. If you grate apple & then put it in hot porridge it is basically getting cooked - last time i did it it dissolved to nothing. Tbh though i don't think most people do syn it.

Thats why i grate it so it cooks really quickly and down to nothing but sweetens and bulks up my porridge as my 28g looks rather lost in the bowl

I think if it's one apple in your porridge then it's fine not to syn it as id normally have porridge & a piece of fruit.

Thats my personal opinion tho, and I do bend rules occasionally!

Officially it should be synned but I follow your logic I would be eating the apple anyway - Ok no 1 blind me with science as to how the apple gives off more sugars when its cooked - its MY apple and I'm not synning it, and ya can't make me *Picks up apple and stomps off home*

Lol sorry for the 'science' but I would say it's probably to do with calorie density - fruit would lose a lot of water when it's cooked so 80g of fresh apple would have a lot less calories than the same weight of cooked/stewed apple.

But as you say, if you'd eat the one apple anyway it shouldn't do much harm grating it into your porridge and the serving size hasn't really changed It's one of the lesser naughty tweaks at least!
