Easy Baked Apples are a great go-to dessert when last minute guests arrive.
Ingredients
  • 4-6 Jonathan Apples
  • 6 TBS butter-room temperature
  • ¼ C Raisins
  • ¼ C finely chopped Walnuts or Pecans
  • ¼ tsp Nutmeg
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice (only needed if you are making these ahead and cooking them later, as I did)
  • 1 TBS sugar (if desired to make the dessert a little sweeter, but can be left out)
Instructions
  1. Core each apple, carefully removing all seeds.
  2. Place your apples in a sprayed/greased microwavable baking dish.
  3. In a bowl, add the ¼ Walnuts or Pecans.
  4. Next, add the ¼ tsp of Nutmeg.
  5. And then add the ½ tsp of Cinnamon.
  6. If you are making this dessert hours ahead time, add the 1 tsp of lemon juice.
  7. If you enjoy sweeter desserts, add 1 TBS sugar to the bowl.
  8. Mix everything with a fork.
  9. Fill apples completely full and a little overflowing with the mixture.
  10. Tightly saran wrap the top of your baking dish. (If cooking the apples later, place them in the fridge until you are ready.)
Microwave for about 6 minutes, or until the apple skin is pliable and easily cut with a butter knife.
  11. Let apples cool for 1-2 minutes, leaving the saran wrap on the baking dish.
  12. Transfer to plate and spoon excess juices over apples-or over ice cream topping, if desired.
  13. Serve apples whole or sliced up for easy eating.
