Ingredients
1 cup chopped apples (1 small-medium apple)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons milk
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Wash, peel, core, and chop the apple into ¼-inch cubes.
2. Place chopped apple in a large microwave-safe mug and microwave for 2 minutes.
3. Stir in butter until melted, then add milk and mix well.
4. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until smooth.
5. Microwave the mug for 1 minute 50 seconds (wide mug) or 2 minutes (standard mug).
6. Let it sit in the microwave for 10–20 seconds before removing to prevent shrinkage.
7. Serve warm with a topping like ice cream or caramel drizzle.
Notes
Use crisp, sweet apples like Gala, Honeycrisp, or Fuji.
Avoid cold butter—it can affect texture and prevent even mixing.
Always stir until the batter is lump-free before microwaving.
This cake is best enjoyed hot. Reheating may dry it out.
