BAKED APPLES IN MICROWAVE

• Place 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 tablespoon butter into the core of each apple.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Cover apples with wax paper.
• Microwave on High for 10 to 14 minutes, or until tender.
• Let stand, covered, 3 minutes before serving.
• For one apple, use an individual custard cup or bowl and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes on High, for two apples, microwave 3 to 4 minutes on High.

MICROWAVE "BAKED" APPLE FOR ONE

Steps:

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

• Wash apples, and allow to completely dry and come to room temperature.

• Push sticks into the top of the apples.
• Have toppings in a small bowl nearby.
• Place caramels into a microwave safe or heat safe deep bowl and microwave for two minutes on high.
• Stir caramels if you are able. Be careful as the bowl will be really hot.
• Continue heating caramels on high in 1-minute intervals, always stirring, until mixture becomes very smooth and fluid.
• Quickly dip a couple of apples, swirling them to coat everywhere.
• Hold apples over the bowl and allow to drain, and slide the bottoms of the apples against the top of the bowl to scrape off excess caramel.
• If you like the toppings on the apples, press the apples lightly into the bowl of toppings.
• Place dipped apples on the cookie sheet.
• Check the condition of the caramel and if it is thickening, go ahead and heat it for another minute and stir. Don't worry if you need to reheat often, as it's ok.

• If you have leftover caramel, pour it onto a heavily buttered cookie sheet and allow to cool and set, then roll it up and place in a ziplock bag to use later.
• You can chill apples to get them to set, or just let them sit in the pan to cool off.
