In a blender or using a whisk, combine the yogurt, eggs and sugar until you get a smooth, uniform mixture.

Add the flour, cinnamon and baking powder, then mix until the batter is completely lump-free.
- 4
Pour in the oil in a steady stream while mixing, until the batter is glossy and smooth.
- 5
Peel and core the apples, then cut them into thin slices.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Lay the apple slices on top, pressing them gently down into the batter.

Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before unmolding.
💡 Chef's Tip
Slightly tart apples like Granny Smith work best to balance the sweetness of the batter. For a caramelized golden crust, sprinkle a little brown sugar over the apples before placing the pan in the oven.
