    Baked apples - super quick in the microwave!

    Published: Oct 28, 2013 · Modified: Feb 20, 2020 by Susan Moncrieff · This post may contain affiliate links · 4 Comments

    Baked Apples made in the microwave

    Baked apples, or apple pie or anything that smells of apple and cinnamon is amazing to me. Especially at this time of the year. The apples are fresh, the air is crisp and cool and a hot apple & cinnamon treat is just perfect. Hmmmm, it's a nice way to start a morning too.

    Ingredients for Baked Apples

    Baked apples, or apple pie or anything that smells of apple and cinnamon is amazing to me. Especially at this time of the year. The apples are fresh, the air is crisp and cool and a hot apple & cinnamon treat is just perfect. Hmmmm, it's a nice way to start a morning too.

    The whole process should take less than 15 minutes for two apples.

    Ingredients:
    2 apples
    2 heaping teaspoons brown sugar
    1 teaspoon cinnamon (or ½ teaspoon cinnamon & ½ teaspoon all spice).
    2 tablespoons butter (may use less)

    Directions for Baked Apples

    Peel those apples.

    baked apples with butter and sugar mixture

    Do not cut off the bottom (as tempting as that is to make them stand up). Dig out the core but try to leave the bottom intact. It wasn't hard to do. I just used a smalled steak knife. But a coring knife would do well too. Or, use an apple corer, just don't go all the way through the apple. Try to keep the bottom intact to contain the melted sugar and butter.

    In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Spoon it into the hollowed apple core.

    mixing cinnamon and brown sugar

    Add the butter into the hollowed core. I used a little less than the tablespoon that was in the original recipe. Closer to ½ tablespoon per apple. That is the beauty of this recipe. You can adjust your ingredients to your tastes.

    Place into a deep casserole dish. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. They should be nice and tender when done. And smell sooooo good! Let the apples sit for a couple of minutes to cool slightly.

     

    I like these cut in ½ and a little of the wonderfully sweet cinnamon syrup spooned on top.

    Yummmmmmmm. And healthy too!

    Easy to make, delicious and you probably have everything you need.  It takes me less than 15 minutes to make!

      My kids wouldn’t eat them with the skin on. But, you certainly can leave it on.

      This is so nice. My husband recently had all of his teeth pulled. He loves apples. This will be a great dessert for him. Thanks.

      How have I never thought about doing this in the microwave? We often eat apples as dessert after dinner. (trying to be healthy) However, this would be a nice little treat. I can't wait to try it.
