3 med. apples, washed, cored, peeled & sliced into uniform size slices
3 tbsp. brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Ice cream or whipped cream (or both)

Use a microwave safe dish with lid or use plastic wrap or wax paper to cover. (I use a round glass baking dish with a lid.) This may be doubled to serve 4.

Melt 1 teaspoon butter in glass baking dish in microwave oven (about 15 seconds on high or until butter melts). Wash, core, peel and slice apples into uniform-size slices. Put sliced apples in glass baking dish of melted butter. Stir them so they will be covered with the melted butter.

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the apples. Then sprinkle the cinnamon over the apples and brown sugar. Top with dots of butter (the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter). Put lid on baking dish or cover with plastic wrap or wax paper. Microwave 5 minutes on high or until tender (5 to 7 minutes on high). Put into 2 serving dishes. On top of hot apples, put scoop of ice cream or whipped cream or both ice cream and whipped cream. Heavenly! Time may vary due to different microwaves and size of apples.
