Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For this recipe, it's best to use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Use a sharp knife: When coring and slicing the apples, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts.
  • Don't overcrowd the apples: Make sure to space the apple slices evenly in the baking dish so that they cook evenly.
  • Watch the cooking time: The cooking time may vary depending on the type of apples you use and the power of your microwave. Start with the recommended cooking time and check the apples regularly to prevent overcooking.
  • Let the apples cool slightly: Before serving, let the apples cool for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
