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
Directions
Step 1
Wash and core the apple, ensuring you leave about half an inch of the base intact to create a small cavity.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Step 3
Fill the cored apple with the brown sugar mixture, raisins, and chopped nuts (if using). Press firmly to pack the ingredients into the cavity.
Step 4
Top the filled apple with the butter, placing it over the opening of the cavity.
Step 5
Place the stuffed apple into a microwave-safe bowl and add 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the bowl.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small opening for steam to escape.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!) and let the apple cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as is, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
