Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 75 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Low-fat yogurt
- 2 large Eggs
- 60 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan lightly with cooking spray and set aside.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice in a medium bowl to prevent browning and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together until pale and frothy. Then stir in the low-fat yogurt and unsweetened applesauce until fully combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the batter, gently pressing them down slightly into the batter.
Bake the Apfelkuchen in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before releasing the springform. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve the Apfelkuchen. Enjoy the cake on its own or with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
