Soft, spiced microwave cinnamon apples made with diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. This quick and versatile dish is perfect as a dessert, snack, or topping.
Wash the apples thoroughly and dice them into small, even-sized pieces. Peeling the apples is optional based on personal preference.
Microwave the Apples (Initial Softening):
Place the diced apples into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them on high for 30 seconds to begin softening them.
Add Sugar and Cinnamon:
Remove the bowl from the microwave and evenly sprinkle the sugar and ground cinnamon over the apples. Stir gently to ensure that all pieces are well coated with the mixture.
Cook the Apples:
Return the bowl to the microwave and cook for an additional minute, or until the apples are tender and aromatic. Stir midway through the cooking time to ensure even heating.
Serve:
Allow the apples to cool slightly before serving. These cinnamon apples are delightful on their own or paired with ice cream, whipped cream, or yogurt for added richness.
