Before You Start
Slice the apple thin so it gives up its flavor fast, and set out a mug.
How To Make It
- Bring the water, apple slices, and cinnamon stick to a gentle boil in a small pot, 3 to 4 minutes, until it steams and bubbles break the surface.
- Lower the heat and let it simmer, 8 minutes, until the apple softens and the water turns golden and smells sweet.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg in the last minute so it stays bright.
- Pour into a mug, apple and all, and sip it hot.
Fix It: If it tastes watery, let it simmer a few minutes longer, because the flavor deepens the longer the apple steeps.
Microwave
- Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
- Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
- Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
