This microwave baked apple recipe is fast and easy and oh-so good with cinnamon and raisins. Start with a slightly tart apple such as a Fuji, Gala or Honeycrisp. You could also try a more tart apple like Granny Smith. Remove the core using an apple corer or paring knife. Peel away the top 1/2″ or so of apple peel.
In a small bowl, mix together the filling:
1 tsp raisins
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp butter
Pack filling into core of apple. Sprinkle apple with cinnamon.
Place apple in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour 1/2 cup water gently into the bowl. Cover bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, leaving a little space or steam to escape. Microwave on high for 5 minutes or until apple is soft. Place apple on a clean bowl or plate and spoon some of the cooking juices over the top. Serve warm.
I still have a bunch of apples left from apple picking and this is a perfect way to use a bunch of them up!!!! YEAH. Thank you for posting it.
