Microwave Cinnamon Apples
I’m super lucky that my kids LOVE fruit, but sometimes we all need a bit more of a “dessert” feel than just munching on a raw apple. I have been making this recipe for microwave cinnamon apples for years now. We ALL love it! And I love that it takes about 5-10 minutes, tops. The boys will eat this up and it’s a treat for Hubby and I, too.
While Fall is apple season, there is usually a great supply of different apples year round. We like to change it up with whatever is on sale and try new apples. Have you ever visited a store that has all of these apples that you have never even heard of before? It’s apple paradise! Once you make this recipe, you will find that any apple works. We prefer Gala, Golden Delicious, or Fuji, but have used other kinds, as well. Feel free to adjust or omit the honey, try a different sweetener, and any add-ins you’d like. Go crazy with this recipe, it’s guaranteed delicious!
More About Apples
15,000 different breeds of apples once grew in the US! Apple growers have tried for years to make a new apple for every taste and preference. Some prefer tart apples or sweet apples, and some are looking for flavored apples or apples that don’t brown after you cut them. With all of this apple perfecting going on, I prefer to shop organic to know that my apples are not messed around with too much!
This makes a great after school snack or after dinner dessert!

September 13, 2014 at 7:44 pmGena. Did you find a certain apple works better for these? I inevitably chose the wrong kind. Thx!!!
Gena says
September 14, 2014 at 4:32 pmI prefer Gala or Fuji, although I figured any kind of apple would work! What kind did you use? What happened?

June 21, 2015 at 5:43 amI dont have glass bowls. Can I use microwave safe plastic bowls instead?
Gena says
June 21, 2015 at 9:02 pmI haven’t tried it, but as long as they don’t warp or crack, it should work. The bowl gets very hot.

September 22, 2015 at 4:28 pmHi Gena, Do you think this receipe could work with maple syrup instaed of honey or sugar? We are vegans and maple syrup is a popular alternative. What do you think? Naomi
Gena says
September 25, 2015 at 9:16 amYes, any kind of sweetener, including maple syrup would work well. Thanks!
