Microwave Baked Cinnamon Apple

It's been awhile since I have posted something. But don't blame me. Blame science and the MCAT. Not only have I begun the pain that is MCAT studying, but I have also started back in my research lab. What better way to alleviate the sadness that is my collegiate studies than with a nice baked apple.

Baked apples are so beautifully delicious that it is no wonder that the apple pie is the national dessert of this great nation, 'Merica. But who actually has time to go through all of that effort?

Bless the microwave. In under 3 minutes, I can find myself in warm apple goodness.

This also depends on the size of the apple you use.
If you use one of those gargantuan beastly apples expect the calorie amount to increase. My apple was about 2 1/2 inches in diameter, or xtra small according to calorie count.
