Apples in the Microwave - Fast and Easy Snack

Recipe Inspiration Source:  Allrecipes, Salad in a Jar

Actually, the wife who is part owner of Adams Farm told me about this.  She saw I was buying a few of their HoneyCrisp apples.  The way she described them made me definitely want to give it a try.  I also decided to look up some similar recipes in case there were any variations to consider.





  • 2 apples, sliced - can also use pears!
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar, brown sugar, honey or maple syrup (sweeteners can be omitted for a healthier version)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional: 
  • butter, nutmeg, ground cloves, raisins, nuts

Place apples in a microwave-safe bowl; 

Cover with another glass plate or microwave safe lid and heat in microwave for 1 minute
Tip: Adding a little water at the beginning will keep them from being too dry.

Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over apples and stir to coat.  

Heat apples in microwave until soft and warm, 1-4 minutes more.  Check on them each minute.   They can be cooked at a lower temp for longer.


Serving Options - 
  • serve with ice cream
  • sprinkle with granola
  • bake them in a pie crust
  • roll them up in a tortilla for an apple burrito
  • Make an “Apple Bueno" - Pour cooked apples over all fried flour tortilla chips and eat like nachos
