Baked Apples With Apricot And Walnut Filling Microwave Recipes

MICROWAVE BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Core the apples, leaving the bottom intact.
• In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon the sugar mixture into the apples and set a teaspoon (or more to your taste) of butter on top of each apple. Place the apples in a deep casserole dish and cover.
• Microwave for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes or until tender. Let the apples sit for a couple minutes before serving.

BAKED APPLES WITH DRIED APRICOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup water in an 8-inch square baking dish. Peel tops of apples; core with melon baller (leave the bottom intact).
• In a bowl, toss dried apricots with remaining 1/4 cup sugar, ground ginger, and cinnamon.
• Fill apples; place in dish. Dot each with 1/4 tablespoon butter. Bake, basting occasionally, until tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Drizzle with pan syrup.

BAKED APPLES WITH APRICOT AND WALNUT FILLING

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine well the apricots, the walnuts, the brown sugar, and the butter. Core the apples, making each opening large enough to hold half the apricot mixture, peel the top third of each apple, and fill the cavities with the apricot mixture. Arrange the apples in a deep 2 ½-quart microwave-safe baking dish so that they do not touch one another or the sides of the dish, pour the orange juice around them, and microwave the apples on high power (lOO%), covered with micro wave-safe plastic wrap, for 7 minutes. Pierce the plastic wrap with the tip of a sharp knife and let the apples stand covered, for 5 minutes, or until they are tender.
