| September 11, 2018 -- With the official start of autumn around the corner, it’s time to break out the apple recipes that make your kitchen smell so good. TheKitchn.com has a recipe for Apple Yogurt Cake with a Cinnamon-Sugar Streak that is both easy and delicious.
INGREDIENTS:
Cooking spray or olive oil
1 1/2 cups whole regular or Greek yogurt, well-stirred
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 pounds apples (preferably tart, such as Granny Smith)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground nutmeg
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
DIRECTIONS:
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with baking spray or olive oil.
Place the yogurt, granulated sugar, oil, lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Peel and core the apples, then chop into rough 1/2-inch chunks. (Do not grate the apples or the batter will be too wet.) You should end up with 4 to 4 1/2 cups of apples. Add the apples to the yogurt mixture and stir to combine.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Stir just until no dry pockets of flour remain; set aside. Place the remaining 2 teaspoons cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter in a small bowl and smash with a rubber spatula to combine.
Pour 1/2 of the batter into the pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture on top, dropping it on the batter in small lumps. Spread the rest of the batter over the top. Then sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-brown sugar.
Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, covering with aluminum foil toward the end if the top is browning too much, 45 to 55 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack and let it cool for at least 1 hour. Cut and serve the cake warm or at room temperature.
Storage: This cake can be covered and stored at room temperature for up to 4 days, and it gets even more moist as it sits, due to the apples.
