Equipment
Ingredients
Apple Mixture
- 2 cups chopped apples, skin on
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 heaping tablespoon cinnamon
Cake Batter
- 2/3 cup non-dairy milk
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted, regular or non-dairy
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt, regular or dairy-free
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
Fritter Topping
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. I like to spray and line 9x9 with parchment for easier clean up!
- Chop the apples and mix with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Make the buttermilk. Mix together milk and vinegar in a measuring cup. Set aside to let curdle, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a large bowl, gently mix together the butter, sugars, yogurt, vanilla, salt, baking powder, soda and flour. Add in the buttermilk at the end. The batter will be thick!
- Spoon half of the batter into your prepared pan, then layer in half of the apples with their juices. Spoon on the remaining batter and top with the remaining apples.
- Crumble together the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and vanilla to form a mixture similar to wet sand. Crumble on top of the cake.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until toothpick comes out clean from the middle. Remove and let cool before slicing.
