Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cup peeled, chopped apples about 3 large apples
- 3 tbsp packed brown sugar
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.125 tsp fine salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp water or apple juice
- 0.25 cup quick-cooking oats optional, for a crisp-style topping
- 0.25 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional
- 2 tbsp raisins optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Grease a 2- to 3-quart microwave-safe dish lightly, then add the chopped apples.
- Toss apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated.
- Stir in melted butter, vanilla, and water to moisten the mixture.
- Cover tightly with a microwave-safe lid or plate.
- Microwave on High for 5–7 minutes, stirring halfway, until apples are tender but not mushy.
- Let stand covered for 2 minutes. Stir in oats, nuts, or raisins if using; microwave 30–60 seconds more to warm them through.
- Serve warm. Spoon over yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream if desired.
Notes
Variation: Swap half the apples with ripe pears, or replace brown sugar with maple syrup to taste. For a heartier dessert, double the oats and toast them first for extra crunch. Leftovers keep 3 days in the fridge; reheat gently in the microwave with a splash of water.
