Microwave Baked Apples

By srumbel

Microwave Baked Apples are a quick and easy dessert or snack. They are like little mini apple pies with the added bonus of being ready in about 10 minutes tops. Microwave Baked Apples are best when starting with a large crisp apple and ending with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream on top.
