How to Make Almost Instant Baked Apple

  1. Wash, dry, and core the apple using a corer or paring knife.
  2. Peel a thin strip of skin from around the cored center (about 1/2 inch wide).
  3. Place the apple in a microwave-safe bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins. Stir in the chopped nuts, if using.
  5. Fill the cored center of the apple with the brown sugar mixture.
  6. Dot the top of the apple with half of the butter.
  7. Pour the water around the apple in the bowl.
  8. Microwave on high for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Let stand for 1-2 minutes to allow the apple to finish cooking.
  9. Check for doneness by inserting a fork; it should easily pierce the apple. If not, microwave in 30-second increments until tender.
  10. Top with remaining butter and desired amount of cream or milk. Enjoy!
