This Apple Yogurt Cake is a soft, moist, and tender dessert that combines the natural sweetness of apples with the creamy tang of yogurt. Easy to make with simple ingredients, it’s perfect for breakfast, snack time, or a light dessert.

Notes

Fold in 1/2 cup chopped nuts for added crunch.Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a sweet crust.Use vanilla or apple-flavored yogurt for enhanced flavor.Substitute with gluten-free flour to make it gluten-free.Chop apples small and toss with a bit of flour to prevent sinking.
