Dry Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons milk (any kind)
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil or melted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped apple (peeled)
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all the dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, neutral oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until you get a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Incorporate Apples: Fold the finely chopped peeled apple pieces gently into the batter ensuring an even spread of fruit throughout the mixture.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 1 to 1 minute and 30 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave wattage. The mug cake should rise and be firm to the touch when done.

Notes
- Use a microwave-safe mug to avoid any safety hazards.
- Adjust cooking time according to your microwave’s power to prevent overcooking or undercooking.
- Peeling the apple creates a smoother texture; however, you may leave the peel on for added fiber and texture.
- You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- This mug cake is best enjoyed immediately for optimal moisture and taste.
