Step 1
Prepare the ingredients from the list to bake apples in the microwave. Use any apples with firm skin and hard, tart-sweet flesh. The amount of sugar depends on how sweet you want the dessert to be and how sour your apples are.

Step 2
First, wash the apples. Carefully cut out the core without piercing the bottom or sides. It's best to use a knife with a short blade. First, cut out a small cone, then use a knife or a teaspoon to remove the remaining seed cavity. Place the apples in a deep plate or a baking dish suitable for use in a microwave oven.

Step 4
Sprinkle with sugar on top. I used brown sugar, but you can use regular sugar, add cinnamon, or substitute the sugar with honey—adjust according to your taste preferences.

Step 6
Place in the microwave for 5 minutes at full power (mine is 800 W). There's no need to grease the dish, but make sure to cover it with a lid; you can use a dome-shaped lid, the kind typically used to cover food when reheating. After the timer beeps, leave the apples in the turned-off microwave with the door closed for a few more minutes.
