As You Slice Up The Apples, Check For Their Flavor. If They Don'T Taste Good Raw, Believe Me, They Aren'T Going To Taste Good Cooked. Put Apple Slices In A Glass Bowl. Sprinkle On Top The 3 Tbsp Of Sugar. Add A Light Sprinkle Of Cinnamon. Bake In Microwave Oven For 5 Minutes On High Heat. Adjust The Time For Your Microwave And How Many Apples You Are Doing. Ours Has A Powerful High Setting So 4 Cups Of Apples Only Takes 5 Minutes. If You Use More Apples, You Will Probably Need To Cook It A Little Longer. I Suggest Starting With 5 Minutes And Testing For Doneness With A Fork. If It Needs More Cooking Time, Give It More. When Done, Remove And Mix So The Sugar Coats Well All The Apple Pieces. Add Maple Syrup To Taste, About 1 Tbsp. Delicious With Whipped Cream On Top, Or With Vanilla Ice Cream On The Side.
