Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 120 ml Skim milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 medium Apples
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Peel and core the apples, then dice them into small cubes. Drizzle them with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and well combined.
Mix in the applesauce, skim milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Low Fat Classic Apple Cake with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.
