Serves 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total time: 20 minutes

---

Ingredients

4 large or 6 medium apples

2 tsp lemon juice

3 TB granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

---

Method

1. Peel, core, and slice apples.

2. In a large bowl, drizzle the lemon juice and mix to distribute evenly.

3. Sprinkle the sugar over the apples and mix until all the apple slices are covered.

4. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the bowl. Pierce several holes to allow steam to escape.

5. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Test doneness with a fork—the texture should be similar to apples in an apple pie. Stir well to distribute the sugar.

6. Serve warm.
