Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Fresh apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced fresh apples evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the batter.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar for a final touch.
