Microwave Baked Apples
I love to eat apples as a healthy treat or sweet dessert. There are so many different ways you can use and serve an apple.
For instance, I like to:
- Slice up some apples and microwave cinnamon apple slices
- Thinly slice apples to make homemade apple chips
Lately, I’ve been really into baking apples whole and they are delicious!
These microwave-baked apples are sweet and caramelized to perfection in just a few minutes. No having to heat up any cooking devices or having to wait for an hour! It’s fast, simple, and so delicious you would never believe that it was made in the microwave.
If you aren’t a fan of cooking in the microwave, take a look at how to make baked apples in the air fryer or in the Instant Pot! I even have a traditional recipe for healthy oven-baked apples with cinnamon and raisins minus the added sugar!
Ingredients Needed to Make Microwave Apples
To make these delicious baked apples, you will only need a few ingredients:

How To Bake Apples In The Microwave
Before you start this recipe, thoroughly wash and dry your apples before using them.
Then, cut out a hole on top of each apple, creating a kind of well.
Place the apples in a microwave-safe bowl with the top facing up.
Sprinkle the inside of the cutout holes with cinnamon, raisins and add a piece of butter on top of each apple. This will flavor the apples as they cook and make them delicious and sticky!
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plate.
Microwave the apples on High for 6 minutes. Make sure to check them every few minutes, just to make sure they are cooking and not falling over.
Serve warm and enjoy!
What To Serve With Baked Cinnamon Apples
These baked apples are soft, delicious, and bursting with flavor from the cinnamon and raisins! They are delicious to eat all on their own, but they can be served with other things as well.
These baked cinnamon apples would be amazing if served with some:
- Rich caramel
- Whipped cream
- Tahini
- Peanut butter
If you are feeling extra decadent, you could even eat these apples with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream! This creates the perfect combination of warm and fresh apples with rich and cold ice cream.
You could also eat these apples with a bit of thick vanilla yogurt for a healthier option than ice cream. It is almost just as good!
