Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 5 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake pumpkin pieces in the microwave with honey? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Pumpkin can be baked with dried fruits, fruits, berries and honey. The simplest and most common version of pumpkin delicacy is baked pumpkin with apples; these vegetables and fruits are in perfect harmony with each other. And to speed up the process of preparing this delicacy, you need to use a regular microwave oven.

2. STEP 2

   

   For this type of dessert, it is better to use sweet varieties of pumpkin. Wash the vegetable, peel it, remove the seeds. Cut the pulp into small cubes so that it bakes faster in the microwave.

3. STEP 3

   

   It is better to use sweet and sour varieties of apples for baking. Wash the apples in running water; if they have hard skin, remove it and remove the core and seeds.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the apples into small cubes, but you can use them a little larger than the pumpkin; they require less time to soften during baking.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take a refractory mold or special microwave-safe dish, grease the bottom with butter, it will prevent pieces of fruits and vegetables from sticking to the dish, and in addition, the delicacy will acquire a pleasant creamy taste. Place the cooked pieces of pumpkin and apple in a bowl, alternating them with each other.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour a couple of teaspoons of honey on top of the pumpkin and apples; it’s okay if the honey is already candied, it will melt during baking. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon. This spice will add flavor to the dish and mask the pumpkin flavor.

7. STEP 7

   

   To ensure that the pumpkin and apples become soft and juicy after baking, not dry, pour a couple of tablespoons of clean water into the baking dish. Place the dishes with vegetables and fruits in the microwave. Set the power to 800 watts and turn on for about 15-20 minutes. 15 minutes was enough for me. Remember that all microwaves operate differently and the time and power should always be adjusted to suit your equipment. Read more in the article at the end of the recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the form with the pumpkin from the microwave, carefully so as not to burn yourself, taste a piece of pumpkin; if the vegetable seems hard and harsh to the taste, put the dish in the microwave for a few more minutes. Serve the delicious and quick baked pumpkin to the table, after pouring with a teaspoon fresh honey to make the dessert even juicier, sweeter and healthier. Bon appetit!

Now is the pumpkin season and I want to prepare as many dishes as possible from this golden melon crop) I had a very successful baked pumpkin slices in the microwave with honey. Moreover, not only pumpkin is baked, but also apples. My pumpkin is bright and sweet, and the apple is also juicy and aromatic. For baking, it is better to take firm varieties of apples; they do not fall apart when cooked; I have one of the autumn varieties. I generously greased the pan with fresh, delicious butter. The taste of the finished dish directly depends on its qualities. I poured flower honey on top and sprinkled with ground cinnamon. I baked it the same way for 15 minutes, only my microwave was 750 W. This time was enough, the pumpkin and apple were perfectly cooked. They are soft on the inside but have a crust on the outside. It turned out very tasty and sweet, the pieces were well soaked in butter and honey. When serving, I flavored the dish with a little more fragrant honey. My husband said it looked like fruit in caramel. I liked it too, it's a great dessert.
