6 med. cooking apples, washed and cored
3 tbsp. butter
6 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Make a shallow cut in skin completely around each apple, 1 inch from the bottom. (To keep the skin from shrinking during cooking.) Place apples in 12 by 7 inch glass baking dish (or 6 custard cups or serving bowls).

Place 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 tablespoon butter in center of each apple. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover apples with wax paper. Microwave for 10 to 12 minutes on High or until tender. Let stand, covered for 3 minutes before serving.

OTE: (For 1 apple, use individual custard cup or serving bowl and
microwave 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on High; 2 apples, microwave 3 to 3 1/2 minutes
on High.) If you like raisins you can add raisins in apple before cooking.
