Ingredients

• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 100 grams unsweetened applesauce
• 150 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 100 grams light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 50 grams whole wheat flour
• 30 grams rolled oats
• 50 grams unsalted butter
• 25 grams granulated sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, egg, and light brown sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

For the crumble topping, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the cake batter.

Step 8

Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your low-fat classic crumble cake as a delightful tea-time treat or a light dessert.
