Microwave baked apples

Core a Granny Smith apple and, using a small knife, score around the circumference of the apple. Ensure that the base of the fruit is flat. Combine 1 tablespoon dried fruit medley (or raisins), 1 teaspoon brown sugar and a sprinkle of mixed spices or cinnamon in a bowl. Press the mixture into your cored apple. Place the apple in a heatproof, microwave-safe dish with 1/2 tablespoon cold water added to the dish. Microwave on high (100%) for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes or until the apple is soft. Allow to stand for 2 minutes and serve.
