Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
- 120 grams non-fat yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium green apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using a hand whisk until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the applesauce, yogurt, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and stir until well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Mix just until the batter is smooth and combined.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the green apples. Toss the slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Layer half of the apple slices over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer and smooth it out. Arrange the remaining apple slices decoratively on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy your Super Low Fat Turkish Apple Cake!
