What crazy thing do you eat when you crave something sweet but have no apparent desserts in the house?
One of my sisters confessed to eating dry cake mix. She made sure we knew that was a l-o-o-o-o-n-g time ago. Doesn’t that make any confession easier when everybody understands it is ancient history?
Like the classic grape in the microwave, the electrolytes in the apple heat it much quicker in some places and once dried enough, will arc and spark and ignite and smoke. It would take a long time to catch fire if it actually did.
Is Baking Apples in a Microwave Safe in a Zippered Plastic Bag?
When this post was first published, many people were concerned about the issue of cooking in plastic. I had already researched and knew that people who make the rules about this stuff say it’s okay. Now, I’m going to refer you to another source that can explain the safety issues concerning zippered plastic bags better than I can.
Basically, they are saying…
“There are a lot of concerns when it comes to reheating food in Ziploc bags. Plastic releases chemicals in the food, which then enter the cells of the consumers’ body. These chemicals, mainly dioxin, increase the risk of cancerous cells in a person’s body. However, Ziploc bags are safe because they are manufactured after proper research. The dioxins only release into the food when the food is heated using a high temperature, like 1,500 degrees F. However, the most powerful microwaves don’t reach this temperature, reducing the risk of harming the food inside the Ziploc bag.“ –Marie S. Sherman
However, microwave cinnamon apples are just as delicious when cooked in a microwave-safe bowl. Do what makes you most comfortable.
How do I make a Cinnamon Apple Burrito?
Use a freshly made flour tortilla for the best burrito. You can even make flour tortillas yourself. (This homemade flour tortilla recipe is my favorite.)
