Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Apple (preferably Golden Delicious or similar)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, granola, or whipped cream
Instructions
Wash and core the apples, then peel them if desired.
Cut the apples into evenly-sized bite-sized chunks (about 1/2-inch pieces).
Place the apple chunks in a microwave-safe bowl.
Drizzle the honey over the apple chunks, then sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over them.
Add the unsalted butter to the bowl in small pieces, scattering them over the apples.
Drizzle the lemon juice and water over the mixture to help the apples steam and prevent sticking.
Cover the bowl tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe plate to trap steam.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes, then carefully remove (it will be hot), stir the apple chunks gently, and microwave for an additional 2 minutes.
Check the apples for tenderness. If they are not soft enough, continue microwaving in 30-second increments until they reach your desired texture.
Allow the apples to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with your choice of chopped nuts, granola, or whipped cream.
Serve warm on its own or as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream.
