Microwaved Apples With Orange And Strawberry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Core the apples, leaving the bottom intact.
• In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon the sugar mixture into the apples and set a teaspoon (or more to your taste) of butter on top of each apple. Place the apples in a deep casserole dish and cover.
• Microwave for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes or until tender. Let the apples sit for a couple minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Grate the zest from the whole orange and set aside. Cut off any remaining pith from the orange. Cut the orange into chunks. Peel the apple and remove the core; cut into large pieces.
• In a food processor, combine the orange zest and chunks, apples, cranberries and celery and process until finely chopped; be careful not to process too long because the mixture will become mushy. Add the walnuts and pulse until chopped. Stir in the sugar and orange liqueur. Refrigerate until serving time, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a 3-qt microsafe bowl; mix well.
• Cover with wax paper.
• Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
• Stir well; recover with wax paper.
• Microwave another 5-7 mins longer until cranberries pop, and sauce has thickened.
• Let stand, covered until cool.
• Transfer to serving bowl and chill for 3-4 hours.

Steps:

• Combine Cortland apples, Golden Delicious apples, and Bartlett pears together in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Add water, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the apple-pear mixture and toss to coat.
• Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and cut a 1-inch slot in the center of the plastic wrap to allow steam to escape.
• Cook apple mixture in the microwave on high for 10 minutes. Carefully remove and discard plastic wrap. Stir apple mixture. Cook in the microwave on high until fruit is hot and tender, another 6 minutes.
• Stir maple syrup into fruit mixture. Cool completely before refrigerating.

Steps:

• Peel, core and slice the apples.
• Place apples in a large microwave-safe bowl.
• Add in 1/4 cup water, cinnamon (start with 1/2 teaspoon) and nutmeg, if using; stir to combine.
• Cover with heavy microwave-safe plastic wrap (leave a little side opened to allow steam to escape).
• Microwave on HIGH power for 10 minutes.
• Remove the bowl and stir the apples, then contine to microwave uncovered until apples are very tender (about 5-6 minutes longer).
• Using a large fork (I use a potato masher for this) coarsley mash apples to desired texture.
• Add in sugar to taste while the apples are still hot; mix well to combine.
• Bring to room temperature and then refrigerate for up to two days, or freeze in plastic freezer containers.
