Ingredients

• 3 medium Apples
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel and core the apples, then slice them into thin, even wedges.

Step 2

Place the apple slices into a microwave-safe dish and drizzle the lemon juice over them to prevent browning.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon together.

Step 4

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apple slices.

Step 5

Dice the butter into small pieces and scatter them over the top of the apples.

Step 6

Add the water to the dish to help create a sauce as the apples cook.

Step 7

Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe plate to retain steam during cooking.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Carefully remove the cover (beware of steam), and let the apples cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm on their own or as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or oatmeal.
