Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted imported or organic butter
2 large Golden Delicious, Jonagold, or other baking apple, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons Calvados (apple brandy)
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2/3 cup plain yogurt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Generously grease an 8-inch round cake pan (no need to grease if pan is nonstick).
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the apples, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the Calvados, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and the cinnamon. Set aside until needed.
  • Whisk together the yogurt and the remaining sugar in a large bowl, until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Combine the flour and baking soda, then add the oil and eggs, whisking well after each addition. Stir the apple pieces into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Set on a sturdy baking sheet and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  • Note: The cake is best made several hours before serving, or better yet, the night before.
