Microwave Baked Apples Recipe

This is a delicious and easy recipe as long as you prepare the apples properly. I can't imagine this would be good at all with sliced apples. The point of the recipe is to have the apple standing and to cook the spices inside it, with the butter bubbling them out over the edges. Use Granny Smith apples and if you don't have a corer, use a paring knife and cut a wide mouth, angling it toward the center of the apple. I accidentally sliced all the way through one of the apples and all the good stuff oozed right out of it, which is why I wouldn't recommend slicing the apples. This was an excellent compliment to my pork chops dinner.

Excellent. You need to use a firm apple for this - I prefer Fuji. I cut up the apple into sections, sprinkle it with cinnamon and splenda only (no butter or sugar) and microwave 5-6 minutes until soft. It's super low-cal and easy.

Made 2 apples last night with cored whole apples, threw in some sun-ripen raisins along with cinnamon & sugar mixture, but left out nutmeg (coz not a fan)! So, juices oozed out from the apples upon cooked but nevertheless, it was still a delish! The next time around, I will probably slice the apples to try a different feel. It was so extremely easy and fun to “bake” these wonder apples with a microwave indeed! Thank you Nicole for this wonderful recipe...*UPDATES* Made this again using 3 Royal Galas last nite using sliced apples layed with cinnamon, brown sugar & raisin mixture on each layer and microwaved it for 4 full minutes and let it sit for 2 minutes in the microwave. Apples turned out wonderfully delicious, sweet and evenly "baked" within the heavily-spiced up sauce. It's now a 5-star from me and hubby, no question about it!!

Nice and easy recipe. I work with adults who have developmental disabilities and I am teaching them no-flame recipes, as some of them do, or will be, living independently and may have certain restrictions. We made this today, only cutting the apples completely in half. We were able to do this using only a butter knife to split open the apple and scooping out the core with a spoon. Since we grabbed the pumpkin pie spice out of the cupboard first, we used it instead of the cinnamon and nutmeg. I am so pleased with how this recipe turned out and especially how easy it was for my clients.

Worked great! I halved the apples after peeling, added chopped pecans, and I tossed the apples in the mix first to coat the peeled outsides, before sprinkling the rest on top. Then adding the butter

Fast and easy, just as I was searching for. I used Honeycrisp (it’s what I had) and peeled the apples, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. Covering the dish with plastic wrap while microwaving kept the apples soft and the sauce ooey and gooey. I will make this again!

This is a good basic recipe, but I increased the health content and jazzed up the flavoring by doing the following for ONE (1) apple: Core apple and mix together 1/2 tsp. apple pie spice, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp. pure maple syrup, 8-10 raisins. Scoop mixture into cored apple and microwave 3.5 minutes or until tender. Completely OMIT the butter. It's not necessary.

I had a craving for a baked apple; this fit the bill and satisfied my craving. I only needed one apple so cut all ingredients in half. Since I was only microwaving one apple I reduced the cooking time to 3 minutes. The apple was delicious and I would make it again. Thank you Nicole.

Excellent! Used brown sugar substitute, unsalted butter peanut & pecan mix, cinnamon and nutmeg—delish! Used a glass bowl with lid in microwave as recommended and it was perfect! Yummy

Wow! This was a great recipe for a really nice low-fat snack. It was quick, easy and delicious. I cut the recipe in half and used a large Granny Smith apple. I also cut the amount of nutmeg in half, I love nutmeg but it can overpower the cinnamon. I also used Land O Lakes light butter and boy was this good topped with a bit of fat free Cool Whip!

Worked for me. Wide cut around the top of the apple, used a grapefruit spoon to dig out the rest of the seeds. sugar and cinnamon into the top of the apple, baked it 6 minutes. Added a drop or two of double Devon cream. Quick easy and Yummy

I made something similar as a kid as an afternoon snack, this recipe brought all of those memories back! It’s quick easy and delicious! I microwaved it was 3.5 min and it was a bit too soft for me, so I’ll cook it for less than 3 min next time.

Very helpful for baking apples in the microwave. Thank 😊

Too much nutmeg for me. Will try again with less. I did cut the apples (Fuji) into chunks after they were done and mixed them in with the sauce that ended up on the bottom of the dish. Good but could be better with some tweaking.

I added roasted chopped walnuts and a sauce made with apple juice cornstarch brown sugar with a side of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream absolutely delicious l ❤️ fresh fruit desserts with luscious fruit sauce l live alone and appreciate Microwave recipes just for times sake

I used a Honey Crisp apple because that was what I had. I thin sliced off the top, making it flat, peeled the top 1/3 of the apple and cored it. I filled the apple the most of the way up with water. Then in the water, I added a couple of shakes of Molly McButter, about 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg and two packets of Sweet N Low. I microwaved a minute, stirred the middle water mixture and then microwaved for another 3 minutes. It hit the spot for a sweet snack. It did get mushy, but I wanted it to so I could mashed it all together in the bowl in which I microwaved it. It was like eating warm apple pie without the crust.

Crazy good and crazy easy.

Bring diabetic I used a lesser amount of brown sugar & 1/2 the butter. Came out great! I haven't had a baked apple in 50 yrs!

Added dried cranberries and it was delicious! I plan on making it every week!!!

This recipe is a keeper.
