How to Make Apple Cinnamon Mug Cake

  1. In a large mug, mash the apple with a fork until mostly smooth.
  2. Add the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  3. Stir in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
  5. Let cool slightly before topping with your favorite additions (see suggestions below) and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
