Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 75 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Low-fat yogurt
- 2 large Eggs
- 60 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan lightly with cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice in a medium bowl to prevent browning and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Step 4
In another bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together until pale and frothy. Then stir in the low-fat yogurt and unsweetened applesauce until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the batter, gently pressing them down slightly into the batter.
Step 8
Bake the Apfelkuchen in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before releasing the springform. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, slice and serve the Apfelkuchen. Enjoy the cake on its own or with a dollop of low-fat yogurt or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
