Apple Cake, My Way

Had a hankering for something sweet, fall-ish and not too workout-wrecking. I made this. 

And it was good! 

I actually halved the recipe below and put it in a 9" round cake pan, but a square 8" pan would work, too. 

Apple Cake

5 apples, peeled, cored and diced up fairly small ... chocolate chip size

2 C all purpose flour

1/2 t kosher salt

4 t cinnamon

1 t nutmeg

4 t baking powder

4 eggs or 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites

1/2 C white sugar

1/2 C packed brown sugar

1 C fake sugar

1 container Greek yogurt (plain, vanilla, caramel apple or apple pie flavor ... regular, light or fat free)

2 t vanilla extract

1 C chopped walnuts

4 t cinnamon

1 t sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour 9 x 13 pan. Prepare apples and set aside. Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside. In big mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugars, yogurt and vanilla. Add dry to wet until completely mixed. Add apples and walnuts. Pour in pan. Sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture over the top. (This can be omitted if you prefer.) Bake for 50 minutes (30-ish for half of recipe) or until a toothpick comes out clean when stuck in center. Begin checking around 40 min (whole recipe) or 25 min (half recipe) to make sure you don't overbake. After cooling, I'd store in fridge. 

It's yummy on its own. But you could make a cream cheese frosting (light cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and a dash of cinnamon) to drizzle over the top. Or a simple glaze (milk, vanilla, powdered sugar). Or serve with whip cream. Or, better yet, warm with ice cream!!!!! I could do this all day ...
