Ingredients
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 small apple, peeled and finely chopped
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 oz capacity), combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients in the mug. Mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
Fold the finely chopped apple pieces into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Microwave the mug on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the center. Cooking times may vary depending on microwave wattage.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cake cool for 2 minutes before eating.
Enjoy the apple mug cake directly from the mug or transfer to a plate if desired.
