Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/2" slices. Place in a bowl, add 1/2 tsp of the cinnamon on top and squeeze the lemon juice over them. Set aside.
Place parchment paper in a round baking dish (mine was 9-inches) and spray the sides with cooking spray.
Mix the eggs, sugar, oil, yogurt and lemon zest together in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, remaining cinnamon, baking powder and salt until combined.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until combined then fold in 10 apple slices to the batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer. Arrange the apples on top in a circular pattern, layering them on top of each other.
Bake at 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted clean from the center.
Remove from the oven and cool 20-30 minutes. Optionally add lemon jam on top for a fun glaze.
Store the yogurt cake in the refrigerator up to 5 days or in the freezer up to 30 days.
