Ingredients for Baked Apples With Apricot And Walnut Filling Microwave

  • Dried Apricot
  • 1/4 cup walnuts (chopped)
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Granny Smith Apples

How to Make Baked Apples With Apricot And Walnut Filling Microwave

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup dried apricots (chopped), 1/4 cup walnuts (chopped), 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon butter. Mix well.
  2. Core 4 medium apples, creating a large enough opening to hold half of the apricot mixture in each. Peel the top third of each apple. Fill the cavities with the apricot mixture.
  3. Arrange the apples in a deep, 2 1/2-quart microwave-safe baking dish, ensuring they are not touching each other or the sides of the dish. Pour 2 tablespoons of orange juice around the apples.
  4. Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap, piercing several small holes in the wrap to vent.
  5. Microwave on high for 7 minutes.
  6. Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
