Ingredients
- 10 cups peeled, sliced Granny Smith apples
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
Place apples in a large bowl.
Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl and mix well.
Sprinkle sugar mixture over apples and mix well. Spoon into a microwave-safe dish. Dot with butter. Cover with plastic wrap.
Microwave apple mixture on HIGH (100% power), stirring every 5 minutes, until apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
Secret Tip
An apple corer/slicer makes short work of slicing apples. You'll still have to peel the apples, but the corer does its job in just seconds, shaving several minutes off your preparation time.
