Ingredients
- 4 piece(s) Apple
- 40 g Brown sugar
- 5 tbsp Ground cinnamon
- 60 g Dried cranberries
- 60 g Chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Wash the apples. Core them without cutting through the bottom, and slice a thin piece off the bottom of each apple so it stands steady.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, ground cinnamon, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts.
- Evenly spoon the filling into the hollow center of each apple.
- Place the apples in a microwave-safe baking dish. Cover with heat-safe plastic wrap or wax paper, and microwave on high until the apples are tender, adjusting the time based on the apple size and microwave power.
- Let cool slightly before eating. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
