It’s fall time! And that means it’s apple time! To kick of fall, I found a great recipe for an absolutely delicious apple cake where you can use fresh apples! The recipe intends to make squares, but I kept it as a cake and it tastes just the same. I already made this cake two separate times, one of which I made two at the same time, which is why there are pictures of two bowls below, and I gave one to my dad’s awesome band and the other to my sister and her roommates. I used winesap and granny smith apples and they both came out great! Enjoy this cake while you still can get some fresh apples!
Ingredients
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small square chunks
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

- 1 and 1/4 cup all purpose flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×9 square pan.In a medium bowl, toss chopped apples with cinnamon and brown sugar.
In a mixing bowl, combine together 1 and 1/4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of white sugar, vegetable oil, yogurt, and vanilla until very smooth. Add eggs and whisk until smooth.
Add dry ingredients (flour mixture) into wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Pour half of batter into the greased pan, top with half of apples, then pour the remaining half of the batter on top of the apples layer. Top with the remaining half of apples. Bake for about an hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
