Spiced Apple Treacle Pudding Mug Cake

1.In a small bowl, toss the diced apples with the cinnamon and ginger until evenly coated.

2.Place 1 tablespoon of the treacle at the bottom of a large, microwave-safe mug (approx. 350ml capacity).

3.In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth, then beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

4.Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined, then gently stir in the spiced apple pieces.

5.Spoon the batter into the mug on top of the treacle layer, smoothing the top with a spoon.

6.Microwave on high (800W) for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the sponge has risen and the top feels firm to the touch.

7.Let the pudding stand for 1 minute to finish setting, then drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of treacle before serving warm.
