Easy "baked" apple

I just made this in the microwave and it was yummy!

1 apple, cored
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp butter
cinnamon to sprinkle

Core apple, then place in a microwave safe dish or bowl. Place butter and brown sugar in the core, then sprinkle with cinnamon. Microwave for 3 min. or until apple is cooked "soft". Then, let cool for a min. or so, and scoop the liquid (from the brown sugar and butter that has melted) and pour over the apple.

Yum!

You can bake more than one at a time, just adjust the time.
 
I make these all the time in the fall - only I refuse to own a microwave, so use the toaster oven... and the apartment smells OH SO YUMMY... I don't like butter anymore, so just the brown sugar and the juice from the apple makes a nice caramelly sauce.. just add a pinch of nutmeg :)


it also works really well with pears..
 
Teehee.. :rotflmao:

Yes, lets not forgot the mayo! :rolleyes:

:D

:) Yummy I love apples and will try anything apple or chicken lol!
Can you sub for butter spray??:doh: I am sure you can haha Ty Tammy
 
Why not have the real stuff? just make it fit in your day... better an all natural something is better than something that's 99 percent chemicals... walk an extra 50 feet to get those calories off.
 
Wow mal, i wish i could live without a microwave. That's probably a good idea, it probably would make people cook and would make people not get weak over microwave dinners. Those types of dinners you can still put in the oven but most people buy them for the convenience. My mind is just wandering on all the possibilities right now....lol
 
I haven't had one for a few years - I hate processed foods -and cooking well -isn't complicated... read the labels on most processed foods -you really want ot eat that crap? and cooking doesnt take that muchlonger...
 
ver

Lol ok I am not getting into this one BUT I must say alot of my frozen dinners which I love weight watchers meal and deserts ,lean cuisines,are prolly processed but I feel it's a step up from fried greasy drive thru foods so BABy steps for me I am proud to even have fruites and veggies on my menue today I would have never ate F&V a year ago.I see both sides tho.:)
 
Mal - that's cool you can live w/o a microwave, I can't...it's like a staple around here. Course I don't own a toaster oven.

Tammy - whatever works for you, that's what you should stick to. I don't particularly like the taste of frozen meals, but will have them once in awhile.

As far as real butter - the ingredients should just be cream and maybe salt (I like mine salted.) if you are using anything out of a tub, it's probably not real butter.

I didn't realize that some people call margarine butter, until I went to visit my sister (who was raised in a different household than I was.) She said something about butter, and I said, you know you don't really use butter. She had a tub of country crock. She was astounded that it wasn't "butter" - she even had to look it up just make sure. ;) It said on the tub "real butter flavor". Ha!

Anyway, dh was a dairy farmer, and I know what real butter is. But, that said, I don't use it often. And when I posted it in the recipe thread, it was just a smidge per apple - probably even less than a tsp, but I put tsp cause it was a real measurement not like a "smidge".

I do use smart balance - and thought it's not technically butter, it's not technically margarine either - at least it's made with olive oil and such (with the Omega 3's were supposed to have.) But then again, I don't use it all that often either.

I usually use splenda too - but the amount of BS didn't put me over the edge - it was just enough.
