Why choose an apple pie in a mug?
The great advantage of this crunchy and delicious dessert is its extremely quick preparation. You will have it ready literally in a few minutes. To prepare it, you will only use a few basic ingredients that you surely have at home.
By using oatmeal and fruit, you also get a dose of fiber and vitamins. This cake is perfect for one person, but also for several people if you use multiple cups. On cold days, a warm apple pie is a great variety that will pleasantly refresh and warm you up.
Ingredients needed
To prepare the cake in a mug, you will need 1 large apple, 2 tablespoons of oatmeal, 1 teaspoon of plain flour, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and, for decoration, a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Start the apples
First wash and peel the apple and then cut it into small pieces. Then put the fruit in a microwave-safe mug.
Preparation of crumbs
In a small bowl, mix the oatmeal, plain flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the butter and mix with a fork until the mixture resembles a crumb. Spread it evenly over the sliced apples in the mug.
Baking phase
Place the prepared mug in the microwave oven and set it to high power for approximately 2 to 3 minutes. As a result, the apples should be pleasantly soft and the crumb should have a beautiful golden color to make it pleasantly crunchy.
You can serve
Leave the cake in the mug to cool for a while, then add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, possibly even whipped cream, and a delicious dessert is ready.
A few final tips
The taste of the dessert can also be influenced by the specific variety of apples. Sweet apples will give it more sweetness, while the more sour kind will give it a fresh taste. Instead of apples, you can also use other fruits, such as pears or plums. In addition to cinnamon, you can also add other spices, such as nutmeg, cardamom or star anise. For extra crunch, you can also add chopped nuts or almonds to the cake.
