This gluten free, dairy free, lacto ovo vegetarian, and vegan recipe serves 2. This recipe from Simply Recipes requires apples - use apples that cook up, sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and maple syrup.
Instructions
Sprinkle apples with cinnamon and sugar: Put apple slices in a glass bowl.
Sprinkle on top the 3 Tbsp of sugar.
Add a light sprinkle of cinnamon.
Bake in microwave oven for 5 minutes on high heat. Adjust the time for your microwave and how many apples you are doing. Ours has a powerful high setting so 4 cups of apples only takes 5 minutes.
If you use more apples, you will probably need to cook it a little longer. I suggest starting with 5 minutes and testing for doneness with a fork. If it needs more cooking time, give it more.
Add maple syrup to taste: When done, remove and mix so the sugar coats well all the apple pieces.
Add maple syrup to taste, about 1 Tbsp.
Delicious with whipped cream on top, or with vanilla ice cream on the side.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Baked Apple works really well with Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
