Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 200 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Protein powder (vanilla or plain)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a round 9-inch cake tin with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss them in a bowl with lemon juice, vanilla extract, and half the cinnamon. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, remaining cinnamon, and protein powder. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the Greek yogurt and milk until combined.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared cake tin and spread it evenly.
Arrange half of the sliced apples over the batter, then pour the remaining batter over the apples and spread evenly again. Top with the remaining apple slices.
In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats and chopped nuts. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the top of the apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your high-protein apple crumble cake!
