Ingredients

▢ 4 tbsp (30g) all-purpose flour
▢ 1/4 tsp baking powder
▢ 2 tsp granulated sugar
▢ 1 1/2 tbsp (22.5ml) fat-free milk
▢ 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
▢ 2 tbsp (30g) unsweetened applesauce
▢ 2 tbsp (16g) chopped apples, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (see note)

Instructions

Combine all ingredients except apple cubes in an oversized microwave-safe mug. Mix with a small whisk until batter is smooth. Stir in apple cubes.
Cook in microwave for approximately 1 minute. If cake is not done, heat an additional 15 seconds. Let cake cool a few minutes before eating. Cake is best consumed while still warm or within a few hours of it being cooked.

Notes

Make sure you don't leave the apple out, as the cake batter relies partly on the sugar from the apples to provide sweetness. Also, try choosing sweeter apple varieties rather than tart ones.
