Ingredients

• Apples - 3 pcs.
• Fine sugar - 3 tbsp. l.
• ground cinnamon - 1.5 tsp.

Directions

1. For this simple dessert, wash the apples and pat dry with a paper towel. Then, with a sharp knife, cut off the tops of the apples horizontally (about 1 cm thick).
2. Carefully, using a special notch or just a long knife, cut out the core with the seeds so that a deep hole forms in each apple. Remove the top of the stalk from the tops.
3. To prevent the holes from darkening, you can brush them with lemon juice with a brush. By the way, it will add a pleasant citrus flavor to the dessert. One apple will need about 1 tsp.
4. To fill the baked apples with cinnamon, pour the fine sugar into a small bowl. Add ground cinnamon and stir with a teaspoon. We can adjust the amount of cinnamon as desired.
5. Place the prepared apples on a microwave-safe plate. Stuff them with cinnamon sugar: gently fill the holes in the apples with the mixture.
6. Cover the sugar and cinnamon fruit with the cut tops. Place in microwave for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving. If desired, we can bake apples in a conventional oven. Place the filled apples in a non-stick pan. Heat the oven to 200 ° C. Bake the apples for 10-12 minutes.
