Step 1
Wash, peel, core an apple and chop into 1/4-inch cubes. Measure one cup.
Step 2
Add chopped apple into a microwave safe coffee mug (preferably a large mug). Microwave for 2 minutes. Pro tip: Pre-cooking the apple chunks softens them, reduces excess moisture, and intensifies their flavor.
Step 3
Remove mug from microwave, stir in butter, until it is fully melted and then mix in milk. Tip: Use room-temperature butter! Cold butter reduces the temperature of apples drastically and affects the texture of the finished product.
Step 4
Add remaining ingredients and mix very well, until thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Microwave for 1 minute and 50 seconds for a wide mug or 2 minutes for regular mug (as shown in photos).Pro tip: After the cooking time is complete, avoid opening the microwave for an additional 10 to 20 seconds before removing the cake. This helps prevent any shrinkage.
Step 6
Serve hot with ice cream!
