Yields

6 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 can of apple pie filling (21 oz)
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in Greek yogurt until smooth.

Pour the apple pie filling into the prepared baking dish.

Drop spoonfuls of the cake batter on top of the apple filling, spreading gently to cover the entire surface.

If using walnuts, sprinkle them evenly over the cake batter.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

To ensure the cake turns out light and fluffy, make sure to not overmix the batter, especially when combining the flour mixture. If using walnuts, you can toast them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant, to bring out their flavor and texture.

Don’t overbake! The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, so keep an eye on it after 40 minutes.

You can also use other flavors of yogurt, like honey or caramel, to give the cake a different twist. Let the cake cool for the recommended 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to set and the cake to firm up, making it easier to slice and serve.
