1 Firm cooking apple *
3 tb Cider or apple juice
2 tb Maple syrup

Hands on time: 5 minutes. Stovetop cooking time: 10 minutes. Microwaving time: 5 minutes.

Peel apple, cut in half vertically; remove seeds with melon ball cutter or paring knife. Cut halves into 1/2-inch slices. Pour cider and syrup over apple slices in small nonstick skillet for stovetop cooking, or in 2-cup casserole for microwaving.

To cook on the stovetop: Cover apple slices and bring to a simmer over low heat; cook 10 minutes, or until translucent. Stir once or twice, adding water if necessary to prevent sticking.

To cook in a microwave: Cook, covered, on high 2 minutes. Stir and cook on high, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes longer, or until tender. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
