Apple Crumble Mug Cake

The best mug cake I've ever eaten. Excellent, no notes.

Amazing! This is the best mug cake I've ever had! Absolutely delicious.

Delicious! Already made it a few times, it’s so easy and perfect for autumn.

Muy rico, fácil y rápido! Me encantó 🥰

Love it! 😍

Incredibly fluffy and delicious! I added maple syrup instead of sugar and nut butter instead of oil and butter. It turned out fantastic :).

Are there any instructions for this to be made in the oven? I don’t have or use a microwave (health reasons) thanks in advance!

Hey Christina! We haven't tested it, but imagine you can bake it in an oven-safe dish at 350°F (180°C) for 15 - 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean 🤗

Such an easy and delicious dessert! I made it with blackberries and spelt flour and it turned out amazing!

Delicious! Fluffy, sweet and a hint of tanginess from the apple.

Absolutely delicious !!!! Thank you for such a good recipe

This is SO delicious! It's a good thing it's only one mug, because otherwise I would be tempted to take seconds and thirds. 😄 Thank you for another great (mug cake) recipe! ❤️

Was too jewy and not as delicious as the other mug cakes

Hey Danny, oh no! The chewiness may have been due to the mug cake being overmixed or overcooked. In case it helps in the future, it can be tempting to get rid of all the clumps when mixing but we recommend mixing until just combined rather than stirring extra. To avoid overcooking, you could try reducing the cooking time by 30 seconds if you give the mug cake another try 😊✨

Perfect sweet for one.

I tried this with persimmom and 1 tbsp of brown sugar. It was good.

So quick and yummy!

Just made it! Delicious!! 😋😋😋

This was lovely! Swapped in tinned peaches as suggested instead of the apple and also went rogue and used oats instead of flour for the crumble topping too. Had with vanilla vogurt and was all very yum

Hello, looks delicious ! Without cinnamon of course..
Can I make it in the oven ? If so, for how long? Thanks

Hey Luiza! Yes, you can bake it in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for around 15 - 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Just be sure to use an oven-safe baking dish🤗

I loved that, I was searching for something, that could satisfy my sweet cravings and this did the perfect job! But I think I'll try to use a little less sugar the next time, it was a bit too sweet for me.

Can i substitute for ghee and almond milk?

Hey Chris, you can use any unsweetened plant-based milk in this recipe. We haven't tried with ghee as we only use plant-based ingredients here at PUL but we hope you enjoy the mug cake if you give it a try 🤗

I love the PUL mug cake recipes and now this has been added to the list! It was the perfect balance of fruit and cinnamon sweetness and the ice cream topping and caramel sauce were the best additions! I used oat flour this time and it worked very well. 🥰

Yay we're so happy the mug cake was enjoyed with oat flour, Charlotte, thank you! 🥰

Yum I will try with oat flour, thanks!

I won’t even try to explain how good this came out, so you just have to take my word for it when I say you should try it. Also I really recommend it with some vegan yogurt and maple syrup
Thank you PUL for the amazing recipe 🫶🫶

So good! I loved the bite of the apples in the cake and the crumble on top was perfect!

So satisfying and easy to make. One of the best mug cakes I’ve had!

this was phenomenal!!!

This was delicious! I had one large apple which was about 8 cups worth, so I made a big batch of this recipe for my family and everyone loved it!

So thrilled to hear, Makayla, thank you! 🤗

Not 8 cups worth… I meant 2 cups worth which was 8 small servings… that would be one giant apple!! Lol

Haha I was wondering... 😜🍏
