Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and tools including a fork or whisk, and a microwave-safe mug (12-14 ounces).
Mixing The Dry Ingredients
- In your chosen mug, add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt.
- Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly using a fork or small whisk.
Adding The Wet Ingredients
- Pour the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract into the mug on top of the dry ingredients.
- Stir gently until just combined. Small lumps are okay.
Incorporating The Apples
- Fold in the finely diced apple pieces gently to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Cooking The Mug Cake
- Place the mug in the center of the microwave and cook on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes.
- Check at 90 seconds for doneness; the top should look dry and spring back when touched.
Serving
- Let the mug cake rest for a minute, then enjoy directly from the mug or invert onto a plate.
- Top with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel if desired.
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Can freeze for later use, but is best when fresh.
