3-2-1 Caramel Apple Cake

[ { "@type": "HowToStep", "text": "In a gallon sized ziplock bag, combine the two boxes of cake mix. Shake the bag to mix thoroughly." }, { "@type": "HowToStep", "text": "Lightly coat the inside of a microwaveable mug with non-stick spray or use a disposable microwave safe paper cup. (Without the spray the cake will not transfer out of the mug and the mug is harder to clean.)" }, { "@type": "HowToStep", "text": "(Here comes the 3-2-1 part) Into the prepared mug, stir together 3 tablespoons of cake mix and 2 tablespoons of water. Cut a slice of canned apple in half and place on top of batter in cup. They will sink in. Gently press together three caramel squares one on top of the other forming a tower. Push the caramel squares down into the center of the batter. The cake will rise around the tower, so don’t worry if some of the caramel is not submerged." }, { "@type": "HowToStep", "text": "Microwave on high for 1 minute." }, { "@type": "HowToStep", "text": "Sprinkle the top of the cake with cinnamon sugar then eat it right out of the mug. If you want to transfer the cake onto a plate, run a knife around the edge between the cake and the mug to loosen, dump out onto a plate, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar." } ]
