Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup Plain yogurt
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Fresh apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the diced fresh apples evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the batter.

Step 9

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar for a final touch.
