Egg (2 pcs)110 g
Natural yoghurt150 g
Apple600 g
Sugar50 g
Rapeseed / sunflower oil30 g

Also: Cinnamon, 1 tsp baking powder, a pinch of salt

Method

Turn the oven on to 180 °C (it takes 10 min to heat up). Line a tin with baking paper. Wash the apples (600 g), core them and cut into wedges.
In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs with 50 g sugar until pale. Stir in 150 g yoghurt and 30 g oil.
Add 150 g flour, 1 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix only until no dry flour is left.
Pour half the batter into the tin, add the apples, sprinkle with cinnamon and cover with the rest of the batter.
Bake in the oven at 180 °C for 40 min, until the top is golden and a wooden skewer comes out dry.
Let it cool in the tin for 10–15 min, then cut into 8 pieces.

Tips

Tarter apples (e.g. Antonovka) stay juicy when baked.
Cinnamon tastes ‘sweet’ – so you can use even less sugar.
Keeps for 3 days covered.
