3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
Instructions
1. Lightly grease an 8–10 oz microwave-safe mug with butter or oil spray.

3. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.

5. Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, until the top is set.

Notes
Dice your apples small so they cook through and melt into the cake.
Use an 8–10 oz mug to prevent overflow and ensure the cake rises well.
Enjoy it warm for the best soft and gooey texture.
