Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium (peeled, cored, and diced) Apples
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 unit Large egg
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8x8-inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten. Add the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, honey, and Greek yogurt, and stir until thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Slice into 8 equal pieces and enjoy your delicious and guilt-free apple cake!
