    Can I soften apples in microwave?

    This is a recipe for making microwaveable apples. First, put 1 teaspoon of butter on each top of the apples. Next, place the apples in a deep, microwave-safe casserole dish and cover. Microwave the apples until they are tender, 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Finally, let the apples sit for 2 minutes before serving.

    Chop the apple and pear into finger-sized wedges, big enough for baby to grasp, with half sticking out the top of their hand. Bring a pan of water to the boil and steam the pear fingers for 8 minutes. Add the apple fingers and cook for a further 2 minutes until fruit has softened (but not collapsed).

    How do you steam fruit in a microwave?

    A microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap can be used to cover a dish and venting is necessary to prevent the build-up of steam which can be dangerous. Remove the dish and cover with caution as they will be hot.

    Steaming apple slices is a faster and more efficient method of cooking than baking or boiling. This cooking method can also prevent the browning of the apples during drying. However, like other steamed fruits and vegetables, it is possible to overcook the apple slices. Avoid cooking the apples to this mushy state unless you intend to puree or mash the apples for sauce.

    Should I boil or steam apples

    To steam an apple, simply core it and then cut it into thin slices. Place the apple slices into a steamer basket, and then set the basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and let the apple slices steam until they are soft. Once they are done, remove them from the steamer basket and enjoy!

    How to steam brussel sprouts in a microwave?

    When you microwave a whole apple, the skin can burst from the pressure of the expanding moisture inside the apple. Therefore, it is not advisable to microwave a whole apple.

    Do you peel apples before steaming?

    Apples are a great fruit to steam because they cook quickly and evenly. Be sure to peel and roughly chop them before placing them in the steamer basket, and only cook them for 8-10 minutes or until they are tender when pricked with a fork. This will ensure that they retain their flavor and nutrients.

    How to make stewed apples:

    Ingredients:

    -6 large apples, peeled and cubed
    -1/2 cup sugar
    -1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    -1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    -1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    -1/2 cup water

    Instructions:

    1. In a large pot, combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and water.

    2.Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
