Applesauce mug cake

Apples are available all year, but that doesn't mean they are always good. Their true season is in the early fall, when the varieties abound. The rest of the year your choice is pretty much limited to red or green. To get the best, crisp apple-y flavor out of season, reach for a container of applesauce. There are some great ones on the market, and they add not only flavor, but moisture, to your mug.

Preparation time : 10 mins
Makes : 1 Mug Cake

Apple sauce : 3 Tbsp
Maple syrup : 3 Tbsp
