Cut a 1/4-inch slice from the bottom of each apple. Peel apples, leaving a 1-inch border of peel at stem end. Core apples just from the bottom, cutting into, but not through, the stem end. Set aside. Combine orange quarters and remaining ingredients in a shallow 2-quart casserole dish; stir well. Place apples in juice mixture. Cover tightly with heavy-duty plastic wrap; fold back a small edge to allow steam to escape. Microwave at HIGH 3 minutes. Uncover and turn apples over; cover and microwave at HIGH an additional 4-1/2 to 5 minutes or unti lapples are tender but still hold their shape. Turn apples again; let cool in liquid. Place apples in individual serving dishes; spoon liquid over each. Yield: 4 servings.
