     Very tasty breakfast or dessert. I cut down the recipe to make 1 apple. Microwaved in a ramekin for 3 - 4 minutes. Very quick and easy - 4/1/11

     I make these in the microwave. I use a sweeter apple Gala, fugi or honeycrisp. No sugar is needed. Cinnamon, cardamon or nutmeg works. I have used oatbran in the mix and leave out the nuts to eat as a side. I am diabetic, avoid sugar as much as I can sometimes I chop the raisins. No BS spikes for me - 11/20/11

     You can get the same result and have it for breakfast if you use a sweeter apple. Just core and wash the apple,stuff with raisins nuts and sprinkle with cinnamon microwave till soft. Yummy - 3/30/11

     WONDERFUL...I actually used Splenda brown sugar - 3/30/11
  • MARYELLEN301
     Made just as directed. I think I would take some of the peel off the top of the apple. Mine required more baking time as they were a bit crunchy. Made for company and everyone enjoyed them, especially the 2 diabetics! - 4/3/11

     Butter is a GOOD fat. Butter blends contain bad fat, rancid oils and chemicals detrimental to our health. I substitut brown sugar with coconut sugar, a healthier choice that gives the same caramelized flavor as brown sugar. - 9/14/14

     This is such a wonderful dessert for me! I also use chopped almonds, walnuts or other dried chopped dried fruit. - 9/14/14

     I used this recipe as a base. I cut the recipe down to one apple, instead of nuts and margarine I used a scant teaspoon of peanut butter. I cooked it in my microwave for 3 minutes as others suggested. It is delicious. Next time I want to bake. It satisfied my pie craving. - 12/14/13

     I wonder what the filling looks like. I really get annoyed with the pictures not matching the finished product. This just says to core the apple and no other prep is mentioned. Very Annoying! - 4/2/12

     It was very very tasty.....and it did fit in with my diabetic plan .....YUMMO. ( I did use Splenda brown sugar blend ) - 11/20/11
  • ONLINESPELUNKER
     Excellent! We cooked individual apples in our microwave in an apple "cooker" and they turned out fantastic. - 4/12/11
  • BABABETTY
     Love it! Used almonds & cranberries because that's what i had. I like using splenda, but for the saving of 8 calories, i prefer the crunch that real sugar gives. - 10/5/12

     Microwave works just fine.
    WHY WHY WHY does the picture on this and so many other recipes not match the recipe????? - 10/2/12
  • IMAPEPPER55
     THIS IS SUCH A GREAT DESSERT TO HAVE WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING FOR YOUR SWEET TOOTH! AND WAS AS GOOD COLD AS IT WAS HOT! - 5/11/12
  • BESCATS
     I used Gala apples & they could have cooked longer. I cut the recipe in half for just 2 apples, and added a little nutmeg to the top. The photo is deceiving, it looks like the apple was cut in half, but that's not what the recipe says. I just used a knife and cored the apples. It was very tasty. - 4/1/12
  • MITCHETR192
     This looks so yummy. I'm not a huge fan of raisins, though, so I'm wondering how it might be with craisins instead. Has anyone already tried? Should I still soak them in water like the the recipe suggests with the raisins? I might give this one a try soon! Thanks! - 3/30/12

     Wonderful recipe. I made it from recipe, but cut to two apples. A definite keeper - 9/14/14
  • NIGHTSHADEISIS
     This recipe was absolutely WONDERFUL! Healthy, and SO tasty; the brown sugar kind of caramelizes and acts like a sweet honey in the mixture. It's absolutely perfect. - 4/14/14
