4 large apples such as Fuji or Gala (about 8 ounces each)
4 teaspoons margarine or butter
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup maple syrup
Remove cores from apples but don't cut through to bottom. Beginning at stem end, peel apples one-third of way down. Stand apples in 8" by 8" glass baking dish. Fill each apple with 1 teaspoon margarine and 1 tablespoon cranberries. Pour maple syrup over and around apples.
Cover with vented plastic wrap and cook on Medium-High (70% power) 10 to 11 minutes or until apples are very tender. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
