Looking for a sweet—and lighter—alternative to apple pie or cobbler? Try this easy baked apple recipe that uses the microwave to get it to the table quickly; it’s ready in less than 15 minutes. As delicious as these apples are for breakfast, they make a comforting and naturally sweet snack or dessert, too. We’ve called for Gala apples here, but you could also use Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady. All of them pair well with the warm spices, raisins, and creamy yogurt topping. If you like, sprinkle some ground nutmeg or ground ginger on the apples too before microwaving.
