Description

These caramel baked apples offer a comforting, nostalgic treat that feels indulgent yet remains simple to prepare. Using firm baking apples, this dish highlights the natural sweetness of the fruit, enhanced by a dusting of aromatic cinnamon. The microwave method ensures the apples become tender and juicy in a fraction of the time required for oven baking. Topped with a generous spoonful of vegan caramel, each bite delivers a perfect balance of soft texture and sweet, buttery flavor. Ideal for a quick weeknight dessert or a cozy autumn evening, this recipe brings a touch of home-style warmth to your table without the fuss of traditional baking.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut a 1/2 inch slice from the top of each apple to create a flat lid.
  2. Using a melon baller or small spoon, core the apples, removing seeds and flesh without cutting through the bottom.
  3. Sprinkle cinnamon generously into the hollowed center of each apple.
  4. Place the apple tops back on as lids to keep the cinnamon inside during cooking.
  5. Arrange the apples in a single layer in an 8 or 9 inch microwave-safe pie plate.
  6. Pour 1 cup of water into the plate, ensuring it reaches about halfway up the sides of the apples.
  7. Microwave on High for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the plate halfway through, until apples are tender when pierced with a knife.
  8. Carefully remove the plate from the microwave and remove the apple tops.
  9. Spoon 2 teaspoons of caramel topping into the center of each warm apple.
  10. Replace the tops and let the apples stand for 5 minutes before serving.
