Ingredients

Scale

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 pinch salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 small apple, peeled and finely diced (about 1/4 cup)

2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 tablespoon melted butter or neutral oil

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

In a microwave-safe 12 oz mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until there are no lumps; the dry mix should look pale and uniform.

In a small bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter or oil, vanilla, and if you’re using, the egg until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the mug with the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; the batter should be thick but smooth.

Fold in the finely diced apples, distributing evenly.

Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds. The center should look set but still slightly moist; if the top looks raw, continue in 10-second bursts, watching closely so it doesn’t overcook and become dry.

Let the cake rest for 1–2 minutes. It will finish cooking from residual heat and set to a tender, fudgy crumb. Dust with a pinch more cinnamon or drizzle with a little maple syrup if you like.

Want an egg-free option? Replace the egg with 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce or 1 tablespoon dairy-free yogurt plus 1 teaspoon oil. The texture will be cake-like and moist without the egg.

Notes

A cozy, quick, single-serving Apple Mug Cake cooked in the microwave; warm apple cinnamon flavors with a soft, fudgy crumb. Easily adaptable with gluten-free or dairy-free swaps.
