Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Apple
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Raisins
- 1 tablespoon Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash and core the apple, ensuring you leave about half an inch of the base intact to create a small cavity.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Fill the cored apple with the brown sugar mixture, raisins, and chopped nuts (if using). Press firmly to pack the ingredients into the cavity.
Top the filled apple with the butter, placing it over the opening of the cavity.
Place the stuffed apple into a microwave-safe bowl and add 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the bowl.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small opening for steam to escape.
Microwave the apple on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the apple is tender but still holds its shape. Cooking time may vary depending on the size and variety of the apple.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!) and let the apple cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
