Easy Baked Cinnamon Apples

Do you ever have a late-night craving for dessert but don't want to ruin the healthy eating you've done during the day? This happens to me pretty frequently. My mom told me about this dessert years ago, and it's pretty perfect. Essentially it's apple pie filling so you lose the calories from pie crust, and you don't have to eat that stuff that comes from the can. Is that really even apples?

This really should be "baked" apples because it's done in the microwave. Hence the easy part. I indicated in the recipe to use one tablespoon of butter but you could easily halve that amount to save some calories. Another way to save calories is to use Splenda or another sweetener. But I know there are people out there who think that sweeteners are the devil more or less, so use what you prefer. The next time you have a dessert craving in a bad way, I highly recommend this.

Baked apples are one of my favorite fall desserts - they remind me of my grandpa! But I love that you made a quicker version using the microwave :)

This is awesome! I always eat an apple a day…I'm a sucker for that old saying. But! This could be a fun way to eat the little suckers!

     Welcome!

    Cooking is fun and easy at high altitude, but baking can be frustrating. About 90% of my recipes work everywhere, but some are adjusted so us mountain dwellers can enjoy baked goods from scratch. I hope you find great recipes on here for your family, and I'll let you know if any are adjusted for high altitude.
