Prep 10 min · Cook 5 min · Total 15 min · Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups of peeled, sliced apples – use apples that cook up well, like Fuji or Jonagold
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- A sprinkle of cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
Directions
- Place the apple slices in a glass bowl, then scatter the 3 Tbsp of sugar over them. Add a light dusting of cinnamon.
- Microwave the apples on high for 5 minutes or more. The exact time will depend on your microwave and how many apples you’re cooking; with a strong high setting, 4 cups of apples may only need 5 minutes. If you’re making more apples, expect that they may need a bit longer. Start with 5 minutes, check them with a fork, and keep cooking if they aren’t done yet.
- Once the apples are cooked, take them out and stir everything together so the sugar coats the slices evenly. Add maple syrup to taste, about 1 Tbsp.
- They’re delicious with whipped cream on top, or with vanilla ice cream on the side.
