For the stewed apples from the microwave, peel and core the apples and puree half of them in a stand mixer. Cut the other half of the apples into thin pieces.
Mix apple pieces and pureed apples with apple syrup and cinnamon and microwave in a heatproof bowl for 2 minutes. Remove and stir.
Microwave for another 2 minutes and keep taking a peek. When the whole thing is cooked soft, it is best to eat the stewed apples from the microwave immediately.
