Microwave "baked" Apple for One

spiritussancto's Note:

i'd forgotten about this! so easy and tasty, you may end up very addicted.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 1

Yield: 1.0 snack/d ...

• 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

Directions:

1. prep your apple and place in a small bowl so the hole through the core is up.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. let it cool for five min, serve alone or with ice cream, crumbled cookies, or a bit of evaporated milk.
6. repeat until you have no apples or your stomach explodes.

If there's someone who could run out of wrap that would be me! But I had a small container that would fit exactly a cored and sliced apple. Great dessert ,fast,easy and delicious,just the way I like it. Caramel syrup would be a nice addition.Thanks for sharing.

Yum. I quartered a golden delicious apple. Based on a comment that apple slices turned out rubbery after five minutes, I nuked this one for 4 minutes and it was perfect (my microwave tends to cook hot) I added a drizzle of maple syrup and topped it with a half scoop of maple walnut ice cream. Thanks!
