How to Make Microwave Scalloped Apples

Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 3 pounds total).
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
Place apple slices in a 2 1/2-quart microwave-safe bowl.
Evenly sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples and gently toss to coat.
Dot the apples with 2 tablespoons of butter.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes. Stir gently. Continue microwaving in 2-3 minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until apples are tender but not mushy (approximately 20-25 minutes total microwave time).
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
