Recommended Apple Variety:
Gala
Also features Michigan Applesauce
Ingredients:
- 2 microwave-safe mugs, 12 ounces or larger
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons applesauce
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 lunchbox-sized Michigan Gala apple, cored and finely chopped
- Prepared caramel sauce, for serving
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Serving Size:
- 2 cakes
Prep Time:
- 5 minutes plus standing
Cook Time:
- 3 minutes
Directions:
- To EACH mug, add 3 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons applesauce, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.
- Stir until very well combined, making sure there are no flour pockets in the bottom “corners” of the mugs.
- Divide apple between mugs and stir until well combined.
- Place mugs in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes or until cakes are cooked all the way through.
- Let cakes stand for 2 minutes before serving.
- Drizzle each mug cake with caramel sauce and serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
Tips:
- Stir with a small rubber spatula, which ensures no flour gets stuck in the corners of the mugs.
- While microwaving, watch to make sure cakes don’t spill over the sides of mugs. Mug cake may temporarily puff up slightly higher than the tops of the mugs, but as long as the cake doesn’t start to spill down the sides, it’s fine.
- If making just one mug cake, reduce cooking time to 1 minute, 30 seconds.
