Quick, fragrant and fuss-free. The mug apple cake is baked directly in mugs or ramekins and can be served still warm with coffee or tea. The batter stays moist thanks to the apples and cinnamon, and even a beginner can manage it.

For 6 portions

Ingredients

2 medium apples
1 cup semi-coarse flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt

Preparation procedure

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Lightly grease the mugs or oven-safe ramekins and dust with flour.
Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut into small cubes.
Prepare the batter in a bowl by mixing the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Add the egg, oil and milk and stir until smooth. Fold in the apples.
Divide the batter into the prepared mugs, filling them to about three-quarters full. You can sprinkle with cane sugar or almonds.
Bake 20–25 minutes until golden. Check doneness with a skewer – it should come out dry.
Serve warm or cooled. Before serving you can dust with powdered sugar.

Total preparation time: 10 minutes prep + 20–25 minutes baking

Tips and variations

Replace part of the sugar with cane sugar for a more caramel-like flavor.
Add a handful of raisins soaked in rum or chopped walnuts.
For a finer texture, substitute half of the semi-coarse flour with plain flour.
Want the dessert in one pan? Pour the batter into a smaller baking dish and bake 22–28 minutes.
