Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour about 2 cups, plus a extra for fruit
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ tablespoon sea salt
- 1 ½ stick unsalted butter softened
- 150 grams granulated sugar about ¾ cup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 apples peeled and chopped
TOPPING:
- 125 grams all-purpose flour about 1 cup
- 50 grams granulated sugar about ¼ cup
- 50 grams light brown sugar about ¼ cup
- 56.5 grams old fashioned oats about ⅔ cup
- 1 stick unsalted butter melted
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Lower oven rack 1 from center and preheat to 350F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
- Whisk dry ingredient in a medium mixing bowl, set aside.
- Put chopped apples in another bowl and toss with 2-2 ½ tablespoon flour. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for about 3 minutes.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla for about 1 minute.
- Add whole milk and Greek yogurt, beat on low until combined.
- Incorporate flour mixture with a spatula until combined.
- Fold in ⅔ apples, then pour batter into prepared pan. Add remaining apples to the top.
- In another mixing bowl add topping ingredients and mix until combined with a spatula.
- Crumble it over the top of the batter and bake for 50-60 minutes until top is golden brown and the cake is cooked through.
- Allow to cool in pan for about an hour before releasing the springform pan.
- Cut into 12 slices.
Notes
- Be sure to soften your butter, it creams better and helps create a softer batter.
- Coating the apples in flour first helps to keep them suspended in the batter so they don't all sink to the bottom.
- Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients to maintain a tender texture.
- Look for a golden brown top and a clean toothpick after about 50-55 minutes.
- Letting the cake rest in the pan helps it firm up for cleaner, easier slicing.
