Ingredients
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp milk (dairy or almond)
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1.5 tbsp light brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
3 tbsp apple, peeled and finely diced
1 tbsp walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter inside an 8 to 10-ounce microwave-safe mug for about 20 seconds.
Whisk the milk and vanilla extract into the melted butter using a small fork.
Add the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt to the mug.
Whisk all ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
Gently fold in the finely chopped apple and walnuts.
Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds until the cake is set and firm to the touch.
Let it rest for 1 minute before enjoying.
Notes
Use a wide-bottomed mug to ensure even cooking.
Check the apple pieces are diced small to ensure they soften quickly during the short cooking time.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
