Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Eggs (large)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt (plain)
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9-inch round cake pan or square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir to mix well and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Beat the mixture until smooth and evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer.
Spoon half of the apple mixture over the batter in an even layer. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the apples into the batter.
Add the remaining batter over the top and spread it gently to cover. Spoon the remaining apple mixture over the top and repeat the swirling process.
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 about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Cut into 12 equal pieces and serve. Enjoy your light and delicious Weight Watchers Apple Swirl Coffee Cake!
