A quick and easy single-serving apple mug cake that’s moist, flavorful, and perfect for a cozy dessert or snack.
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 small apple, peeled and finely chopped
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 12 oz capacity), combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients in the mug. Mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in the finely chopped apple pieces evenly into the batter.
Microwave the mug cake on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set but still moist. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cake cool for 1 minute before eating directly from the mug.
