25 g (1 oz) butter

1. Core the apples and score the skin around the middle.
2. Mix together the sugar and fruit and ll the centres of the apples.
3. Dot the top with butter. Stand the apples in a shallow dish and
cook on High microwave for 5 minutes 30 seconds - 7 minutes.
Stand for 5 minutes before serving.
N.B. The apples will look quite green when removed from the
oven, but they should feel slightly soft when tested with a sharp
knife. During the standing time, the colour will become dull and the
apples will be tender. The apples will overcook very easily, so take
care to undercook slightly. For 1 baked apple cook for
2-3 minutes. For 2 baked apples cook for 3-5 minutes.
