Can you stew apples in a microwave?

Ingredients

- Apples

- Water

- Sugar (optional)

- Spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves (optional)

Procedure:

1. Wash, peel, and cut the apples into slices or chunks.

2. Place the apple slices in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, then cook for 5 minutes on high power.

3. Check the apples. If they are soft and cooked through, remove them from the microwave and drain any excess liquid. If they are still firm, continue to heat them at 1-2-minute intervals, until they are soft.

4. Add a small amount of water to the bowl, to prevent them from burning. Add the sugar and spices, if desired, and stir to combine.

5. Cover the bowl again, then cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

6. Check your apple slices, they should be tender and cooked. The resulting mixture will be a delicious, warm, and comforting apple stew.

The stewing time will vary depending on the type of apples, the size of the pieces, and the wattage of your microwave, so keep a close eye on the apples and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
