Okay, here is my blog post about how to make apple sauce in the microwave:
So, the other day, I was craving some apple sauce, but I didn’t want to go through the whole process of making it on the stove. It’s just too much work, you know? Then I thought, “Hey, why not try making it in the microwave?” And guess what? It turned out to be super easy and pretty darn tasty! Here’s how I did it.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed a few apples from my fridge. I think I used three, but you can use more or less depending on how much apple sauce you want. Any kind of apple will work. I used a mix of sweet and sour apples. Then I washed them real good under the tap. You don’t want any dirt or germs in your apple sauce, right?

Prepping the Apples
Next, I got out my cutting board and a knife. I started by peeling the apples. Some folks like to leave the skin on, but I prefer my apple sauce smooth, so I took it all off. After peeling, I cored the apples, you know, removed the seeds and that hard part in the middle. Then, I chopped the apples into small chunks. They don’t have to be perfect, just small enough to cook evenly in the microwave.
Microwaving Time
I tossed the apple chunks into a microwave-safe bowl. You gotta make sure it’s microwave-safe, or you’ll have a mess on your hands! Then, I added a splash of water. Not too much, just enough to get things steamy in there, maybe like a quarter cup. Some people add a bit of lemon juice, too, but I didn’t have any on hand. Next time, maybe! I also sprinkled in some cinnamon because, well, cinnamon makes everything better. A bit of sugar can be good, too, if your apples aren’t sweet enough. I just added a pinch though.
Then, I covered the bowl with a microwave-safe lid. You can use plastic wrap too, just make sure to poke a few holes in it to let the steam escape. And then, into the microwave it went! I zapped it on high for about 5 minutes. The time might vary depending on your microwave and how soft you like your apples. So, after 5 minutes, I took the bowl out and gave it a good stir.
Finishing Touches
The apples were pretty soft at this point, so I just mashed them up with a fork. If you like your apple sauce really smooth, you can use a blender or a food processor. But I like mine a bit chunky, so a fork did the trick just fine. I cooked them for 2 more minutes until it was perfect. Then I just let it cool for a bit. Hot apple sauce can burn your mouth!
