### Ingredients

 * 6 tbsp Self Raising Flour
 * 4 tbsp Brown sugar
 * 1 Apple-peeled, cored and grated
 * 2 tbsp Canola oil
 * 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
 * 2 tbsp Milk
 * 1 medium Egg-lightly beaten

[[

### Directions

 * Distribute the dry ingredients evenly between two large mugs and stir well.
 * In a jug, combine the egg, milk, oil and apple. Stir well and add half in each
   cup.
 * Using a dessert spoon, mix the two mugs well making sure you get all the dry 
   flour in the bottom.
 * Cover the mug loosely with cling wrap and microwave on high for 2 minutes (based
   on an 800 watt oven).
 * Allow to stand for a minute to cool slightly, then carefully run a knife around
   the inside to loosen.
 * Tip the cake out onto a plate and serve with butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon
   and white sugar or nutmeg, or you can add custard, whipped cream or ice cream!
 * Recipe Tips and hints
 * Apple Teacake in a Mug is not suitable to freeze.
 * You may need to adjust the cooking times depending on your microwave to avoid
   overcooking the cake. Try cooking for 1 minute, and if it needs longer, additional
   bursts of 15 seconds until it is cooked to your liking.
 * Recipe submitted by Casey Butterworth. (Congrats Casey, for your published recipe
   and photo submission you receive !)
