Mug Instructions

In a large microwave-safe mug (at least 8 ounces), combine oil, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Add the cinnamon, arrowroot starch, almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk with a fork until smooth. Add chopped apples. Stir to combine.
Microwave for 90 seconds. If there is wet cake batter on top, microwave for 15 second intervals until top has firmed up.
Carefully remove mug from microwave with mitt or towel as it may be hot to the touch. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. The cake will continue to cook as it cools.

Two Ramekins Instructions

If using two 4-ounce ramekins, combine the ingredients in a small bowl and then divide between the ramekins. Microwave for 50-60 seconds and additional 10 second increments if needed.

Notes

You can stir up the wet ingredients and dry ingredients in a small bowl and then transfer to a mug if you prefer.

Cooking time will vary a little bit based on the wattage of your microwave.

Optional toppings: Serve your mug cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, dairy-free whipped cream, chopped pecans or walnuts, or date caramel sauce.
