Title: Old-Fashioned Baked Apples
Categories: Fruit Dessert Lowcal
Yield: 4 Servings
| FORMATTED BY JOYCE BURTON | ||
| 4 | md | Tart baking apples |
| 4 | tb | Raisins or chopped walnuts |
| 4 | tb | Brown sugar |
| 4 | ts | Orange juice |
| 1 | tb | Lemon juice |
| 1/2 | ts | Ground cinnamon |
Remove apple cores but do not cut all the way through to the bottom. Peel a 1-inch strip around the top of each apple. Halfway down the apple, cut a 1/4-inch deep slit in the skin around the circumference; this will allow steam to escape without the skin splitting.
Place the apples in 4 (10-ounce) custard cups or around the edge of a 9-inch round cooking dish. (The dishes should be microwave safe.) Into the cavity of each apple, spoon 1 tablespoon of raisins or nuts, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 teaspoon orange juice. Sprinkle with lemon juice and cinnamon.
Cover with plastic wrap turned back slightly. Microwave on High (100 percent power) for 6 to 7 minutes, repositioning individual dishes halfway through cooking time.
