Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and core the apples, then slice them into thin, even wedges.
Place the apple slices into a microwave-safe dish and drizzle the lemon juice over them to prevent browning.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon together.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apple slices.
Dice the butter into small pieces and scatter them over the top of the apples.
Add the water to the dish to help create a sauce as the apples cook.
Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe plate to retain steam during cooking.
Microwave the apples on high for 5–7 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Check for doneness halfway through cooking and stir gently to ensure even cooking.
Carefully remove the cover (beware of steam), and let the apples cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm on their own or as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or oatmeal.
