Cinnamon Baked Apples

Jenny Sanders's Note:

Quick and easy baked apples are an old-fashioned comfort food. They can be made in the microwave, or baked in the oven. I often make them a little less sweet by using brown rice syrup instead of the honey. Maple syrup is a good alternative as well.

• Total Time: 14 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 4 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 2 cooking apples
• 2 tablespoons raisins
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon butter

Directions:

1. Core the apples and pare a 1-inch strip of skin from around the middle of each to prevent splitting.
2. Place the apples in two 10-oz custard cups.
3. Pack the raisins into the apples.
4. Mix the honey and cinnamon, pour over the raisins and into the apples.
5. Top with butter.
6. Cover tightly and microwave on high (100%) until tender when pierced with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes. If you prefer, they can also be baked at 375°F for 30 minutes.
7. Serve warm with cream, if desired.

Nice recipe. Instead of honey used brown sugar.

Delicious! I have been craving baked apples. My husband had never had them. I didn't have raisins or rum, so just used dates. Didn't have ice cream either, but used fresh cream :)

This was marvelous! My hubby and I had surprise guests after church, so we went to Zaar and found this wonderful recipe. We used dried cranberries instead of the raisins. It came together quickly and beautifully and drew rave reviews from our guests! We have added this to our Thanksgiving dessert list - which is perfect for our family who need gluten-free foods.
