Easy SLICED BAKED APPLES
1 large apple (for 2 people) .........................................1 TB butter, cut into little cubes
1-2 tsp agave nectar (depends how sweet you want it)
1/4 tsp. salt.................................................................2 tsp. lemon or orange juice
1/2 tsp. whatever herb(s) you're using in main dish (I used 1/4 tsp. each sage & marjoram)
1/2 tsp. dried lemon or orange peel
***
Cut apple(s) in quarters (no need to peel first) ~ then easy to just slice off the end with the core. Slice the quarters and put into small casserole dish. Drizzle the juice on top ~ sprinkle the salt, herbs & dried peel over the top. Then drizzle the agave nectar over it all and dot with the butter. (NOTE: If you're doing more than 1 apple and doubling the other ingredients ~ do the drizzling and sprinkling between each apple as layers in your dish). There's NO other liquid besides the juice (do NOT add water).
Cover and stick into the oven with whatever else is baking/roasting. Any temperature between 325 (for at least 45 minutes) or 400 (don't put pyrex in hotter oven ~ at least 25 minutes). Or, you can just cover and microwave 6-8 minutes.
