02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by cutting each apple into about 16 wedges and toss them into a microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle the apples with some rosemary and cinnamon sugar, then add a little water to keep things moist. Give everything a good stir to mix those flavors together. Cover the dish and pop it in the microwave on high. After about two minutes, take it out and give the apples another stir. Then, microwave for another couple of minutes until the apples are nice and tender. Let them cool for a minute or two before serving.
