To prepare the apples: In a large microwave-safe bowl, add butter, cover, and melt in microwave, about 20 seconds. Stir in sugar, cinnamon, and water. Fold in chopped apples. Mix well. Cook in microwave for about 8-10 minutes, until apples are soft. The apples create a lot of liquid, once cooked, which you’ll want to use. Place the bowl of cooked apples in the freezer to cool, about 25 minutes or in refrigerator, for about 1 hour.
