Recipe: Microwave Baked Apples
Category: Desserts
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Golden Apples | 4 |
| Sugar | 30g |
| Ground Cinnamon | 1 tsp |
| Lemon Juice | 1 |
| Butter | As needed |
Instructions:
- Begin by thoroughly washing the apples before slicing them into approximately 2 cm pieces.
- Place the apple pieces into a mixing bowl and drizzle them with fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle the sugar over the apples and mix to combine. The lemon juice helps prevent the apples from browning while adding a touch of tangy flavor.
- Choose a microwave-safe ceramic or Pyrex dish and lightly grease the bottom with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour the apple mixture into the greased dish, ensuring the apples are spread evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the apples to infuse them with a warm, aromatic flavor as they cook.
- Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small gap for steam to escape.
- Microwave on high for about 5-7 minutes, or until the apples become tender and slightly caramelized. The exact time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so be sure to check for doneness.
- Once done, remove the dish from the microwave carefully. Let the apples cool for a few minutes before serving.
These microwave-baked apples make for a quick and delicious dessert, perfect for any time you crave something warm and comforting. You can enjoy them on their own or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
