Equipment

  • Springform

Ingredients
  

  • 300 grams apples, peeled, cored, and chopped, 2 ½ cups
  • 260 grams all-purpose flour, 2 cups
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 200 grams raw cane sugar or granulated sugar, 1 cup
  • 120 grams yogurt, 1/2 cup
  • 100 ml vegetable oil (unflavored), 1/2 cup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons caramel, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F(180C).
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, combine the sugar, yogurt, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until homogenous.
  4. To the wet ingredients, add the flour mixture. Gently mix, and halfway through mixing, add in the chopped apples. Stop mixing as soon as all the flour has been incorporated.
  5. Line a springform with parchment paper and grease the bottom and sides with butter or oil.
  6. Transfer the batter to the springform and spread evenly.
    (Optional) Add a few dollops of the caramel on top. Using a toothpick, make swirls to distribute the caramel over the surface (see photos).
  7. Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before removing the springform. Then transfer to a cooling rack. When completely cooled, transfer to a plate, slice, and enjoy.
    You can drizzle more caramel on top if you'd like.
