Medium-sized golden delicious apples – 1 per person
Sugar & Spice mixture: (This recipe makes about 2 cups)
1/2 lb light brown sugar
1/2 lb dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 whole nutmeg – freshly grated
1/2 to 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Mix sugars, spices and nuts very throughly. Store in an air-tight container in dry place.
Core and peel apples. Place each apple in an individually microwaveable ramekin. Lightly pack about heaping tablespoon of sugar mixture in each apple’s center and sprinkle some on the top and sides. Cover with microwaveable plastic wrap.
Cooking time will depend on the number of apples you are cooking and the wattage of your microwave. Microwave on high:
1 apple – 6-6-1/2 min.
2 apples – 7 min.
4 apples – 8 min
Ready when springy to the touch. They will also hold in a warm oven for 30 to 45 minutes.
