Baked apples are the easiest Autumn dessert to make. Your microwave makes this old fashioned recipe into a fat-free dessert that's so easy to prepare.
Make sure you have fresh baking apples to use for this recipe.
In New York State we have many different varieties of apples available almost all year long. Here are some varieties that I suggest.
Jonagold- a great fried apple. Simply saute' in a little butter and add a little cinnamon. No sugar needed!
Crispin - an excellent variety for roasting whole or thick slices. Very juicy and super crisp. Wonderful accompaniment for your favorite roast.
Cortland - a great baking apple. Also can be used in a fruit plate because this variety does not turn brown quickly when cut!
Rome - this old apple variety (1816) is a superb cooking apple because it retains its shape beautifully as well as its tart flavor. Great with pork chops.
Preparation time: 20 minutes
4 baking apples, cored
4 Tb. maple syrup
1/2 cup apple cider
ground cinnamon
chopped nuts (optional)
Peel 1 inch around tops of apples. Place apples in microwave-safe casserole dish. Pour cider around apples. Fill each apple with 1 Tb. syrup and dust lightly with cinnamon. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 10 minutes or until fork tender.
