Microwave Maple “Baked” Apples
Get your apple a day! Apples are high in fiber and low in calories. Just watch your portions when using syrup for sweetener, especially if you follow a diabetic diet.
Cinnamon contains antioxidants and may have other health benefits that continue to be studied. Even with less syrup than the recipe calls for, cinnamon adds flavor that compliments the sweetness of the apple.
