How to make an apple unhealthy

At some point or another, you will crave the warm, homey flavors of apple pie.  It’s inevitable.  From there you can have a few reactions:  You can ignore it, which will not work for at least a few days.  You can go out and buy a really gross plasticy commercial-tasting pie from a store.  You can go through the slaving effort of making a whole pie that you only want one piece of.  Or you can take a regular apple and make a small, simple, microwave version of an apple pie.  The great thing about this self-invented recipe is it is never the same and can be changed according to whatever your exact cravings are.

First, take an apple, softer apples are better but whatever works for you is good.  Peel it and core it.  Put it in a bowl and do your best to shove alternate pads of butter and brown sugar into the center, and sometimes it helps to put some butter and sugar outside around the apple.  You shouldn't use more than two tablespoons of butter or you'll clog an artery.  Here's where you can get creative.  I often sprinkle cinnamon in the center and then around the top.  However, it is also possible to add walnuts or pecans or even graham cracker chunks.  A dash of nutmeg may make for an interesting twist or perhaps some ginger.  Anything to satisfy whatever your current apple craving is.

Once, your apple has all it trimmin's, simply put it in the microwave until it gets soft (that means you get to stab it with a fork).  It usually works best if you put it in for 30 seconds at a time.  Once it is soft, it is probably pretty hot, so some vanilla ice cream is always a perfect way of cooling it off and complementing the spicy, complex flavors with such a simple perfect topping.  Whipped cream can also work well for this, but sometimes its best to just let the mini apple pie alone and have it with a cup of tea.  However you make this very vague recipe yours, it's sure to fulfill that apple pie craving anytime.
