Baked Apple Recipe

Ingredients and supplies needed to make a baked apple:

• Bowl
• apple
• knife
• cinnamon
• honey
• microwave
• vanilla ice-cream and a spoon

Wash and core the apple with a knife making sure you keep your apple whole. Place the apple in a microwaveable bowl and drop a dollop of honey in the cored area of the apple. Sprinkle with cinnamon. ‘Bake’ in the microwave for approximately one minute or until soft and cooked through. You may find you need to rotate the apple part way through for even cooking.

Add a scoop of ice cream on top of your apple and serve! (Careful, it’s hot!)

My daughter was surprised and delighted by this recipe and has shared it with all her friends. It’s so easy I’m not sure why we don’t think to make it more often.
