Instructions
Prepare the Apple
Core the apple using a knife or apple corer, leaving the bottom intact to create a well. Place the apple in a deep microwave-safe bowl or mug.
Make the Filling
Mix together the brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, and softened butter in a small bowl until crumbly. Pack the filling tightly into the apple core cavity.
Microwave the Apple
Microwave the stuffed apple on high for 3 to 4 minutes until the apple is completely tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking time varies by apple size.
Rest and Serve
Let the apple rest in the microwave for 1 minute then carefully remove and serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
