SUCCESS AT LAST

I’ve been trying to make a decent baked apple for eons.  Once long ago, I could cook anything with great verve and produce a pretty good dish at the end.  I prided myself on my cooking.  Not baked apples though.  I’ve never succeeded in making an edible baked apple.

 

I have more cookbooks than Carter has Little Liver Pills.  I’ve tried to make baked apples from all of them.  I’ve failed every time.

 

Short on time, I thought why couldn’t I try to bake an apple in the microwave.  I looked up a recipe in Google, and, as usual, I followed the directions to the letter.  I thought there might be way too much spice.  Nope.  I thought three and a half minutes would be too little time as our microwave is old.  I added another 30 seconds, and I have to tell you…they were a success.

 

Mouth wateringly marvelous, actually.  Unbelievably simple too.

Baked Apples for 2: All Recipes:  Nicole M.

 

2 Apples

2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

1 Teaspoon Nutmeg

1. Core the apples, Peel or not, leaving the bottom intact.
2. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon the sugar mixture into the apples and set a teaspoon (or more to your taste) of butter on top of each apple. Place the apples in a deep casserole dish and cover.
3. Microwave for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes or until tender. Let the apples sit for a couple minutes before serving.
