Perfect Microwave Mug Cake Secrets for Quick Apple Dessert Success
Mug Size Matters: Use a large enough mug to prevent overflow as the cake rises during cooking.
Apple Preparation: Dice apples small for even cooking and better distribution throughout the cake.
Microwave Power: Adjust cooking time based on your microwave wattage - start with less time.
Don't Overcook: Slightly underdone is better than overdone; the cake continues cooking after microwaving.
Fresh vs Dried: Fresh apples work best, but dried apples can be rehydrated and used in a pinch.
Flavor Variations: Add a tablespoon of oats or chopped nuts for extra texture and nutrition.
