A quick and delightful warm apple dessert with a hint of cinnamon and maple syrup.
Peel the apples and cut them into thin slices.
Use a sharp knife to make even slices for uniform cooking.
Place the apple slices in a microwave-safe bowl.
Arrange the slices evenly for consistent cooking.
Sprinkle the apple slices with brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon beforehand for even distribution.
Add a small dollop of butter on top of the apples.
Butter adds a rich flavor; adjust the amount to your preference.
Microwave the bowl on high for 4 minutes, checking halfway through.
Microwave times may vary; adjust based on your appliance.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the cooked apples and gently stir to coat.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon for an elegant touch.
