Ingredients:
| 1 large apple, cored (whatever type you like, peel if desired) |
| 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar (or white sugar, or splenda i suppose) |
| 2 pinches cinnamon |
Steps:
- prep your apple and place in a small bowl so the hole through the core is up.
- fill hole with sugar and cinnamon, can also add or substitute pumpkin/apple pie spice or cloves. add raisins if you like, drizzle of maple syrup, whatever.
- wrap tightly over the bowl with good quality plastic wrap. it must be air tight or this wont work. microwave on high for 5 min.
- the plastic wrap will have made a big bubble as it cooks, this is normal. it works like a steamer to cook the apple fast. when taken from the microwave (WITH POT HOLDERS) it will shrink wrap your apple, it’s kinda fun to watch. now keeping those pot holder on, carefully pull off the plastic wrap with a fork, mind the live steam.
- let it cool for five min, serve alone or with ice cream, crumbled cookies, or a bit of evaporated milk.
- repeat until you have no apples or your stomach explodes.

How to cook an apple in the microwave?
Place apple right side up in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour in 1/2 cup water. Sprinkle cinnamon over top of apple. Cover bowl with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small space for steam to escape, and cook in microwave on full power for 5 minutes, or until apple is fragrant and soft, checking every 2 minutes (microwave cooking times vary).
Are microwaved baked apples healthy?
Ready in minutes, microwaved baked apples is as close to instant gratification as you can get with a warm, baked-but-not-in-the-traditional-sense dessert. Lower in calories and added sugar—thanks to its natural sweetness—than most conventional sweets courses, a microwave baked apple is a healthy alternative option that won’t feel like one.
How much sugar do you put in a microwave Apple?
This blend should be to taste, but a good starting point for most apples cooked in a microwave is a tablespoon of sugar per baked apple. Wash and core your apples.
How do you cook apples in a baking dish?
Cover the baking dish. Just as with the oven-baked version, you should put the apples in a baking dish just large enough for the quantity you’re cooking (one which will fit in the microwave and isn’t made of metal, of course), and add some water to the bottom of the dish — about 1/4 cup per apple.
