   • Start by gathering all your ingredients, ensuring they are fresh and of high quality. Preheat your microwave to get it ready for the cooking process.

2. Combine Ingredients:

   • In a 2-quart shallow baking dish, combine the sliced apples and rutabagas. Sprinkle them evenly with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Dot the top with butter, distributing it evenly across the dish.

3. Cover and Vent:

   • Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap, ensuring it’s securely wrapped around the edges. Make a small vent by poking a hole in one corner of the plastic wrap. This allows steam to escape during the cooking process.

4. Microwave Cooking:

   • Place the prepared dish in the microwave and cook on high for 16 to 20 minutes, pausing to stir the mixture every 4 minutes. This ensures even cooking and distribution of flavors.

5. Resting Period:

   • Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the dish from the microwave. Allow it to stand for 3 minutes to settle and let the flavors meld together.

6. Optional Baking:

   • If you prefer a slightly different texture or want to infuse deeper flavors, you can also bake the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for at least one hour. This will yield a slightly caramelized, golden-brown finish.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve your Scalloped Rutabaga and Apples hot, straight from the oven or microwave. The aroma alone will entice your senses, and the flavors will tantalize your taste buds with each delightful bite.
