    honey drizzle, whipped cream or powdered sugar

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray your 6 inch round spring form pan with oil and then line it with parchment paper. I like to scrunch my paper and then it is more pliable to shape to the pan.

  2. 2

    To a large bowl add the yogurt and then whisk in your eggs until the batter is silky smooth. Next sift in arrowroot flour and stir to combine. Next mix in 1/4 cup granulated sweetener, vanilla, pinch of salt until incorporated. Pour this batter into you pan.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl toss the apple slices with 1 tsp cinnamon + 1 tbs sugar to coat all. Gently layer on the apple slices on top of the cake. Bake the cake for 1 hour - it will puff and turn golden brown. Allow to deflate, set and cool on your counter for 30-40 minutes. Then transfer to your fridge to fully set for 2 hour or up to overnight. Slice and serve with chopped pecans, honey drizzle or whipped cream!

About this Recipe

Craving a delightful dessert that feels indulgent yet aligns with a healthier lifestyle? This Greek Yogurt Apple Cake is a luscious, gluten-free treat that beautifully marries creamy texture with the natural sweetness of apples.

The secret to this cake's unique charm lies in the generous use of 5% Greek yogurt, which creates an incredibly rich and tender crumb without the heaviness often found in traditional cheesecakes. It’s a smart, satisfying alternative that delivers on flavor and makes healthy eating feel like a celebration.

Prepare to enjoy a remarkably moist cake with a delightful tang from the Greek yogurt, perfectly balanced by the sweet, tender apple slices and warm cinnamon spice. Each bite offers a comforting taste reminiscent of classic apple desserts, but with a wonderfully light feel. With only 109 calories per serving, it’s a guilt-free pleasure you’ll want to make again and again.

This versatile dessert welcomes your personal touch. Feel free to experiment with your favorite granulated sweetener, and remember that arrowroot powder can easily be swapped for cornstarch if that’s what you have on hand. For a special finish, consider garnishing your slices with a sprinkle of chopped pecans, a delicate drizzle of honey, a dollop of whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

This Greek Yogurt Apple Cake is perfect for any occasion, from a casual weeknight treat to a lighter option for entertaining guests. It truly redefines what a healthy dessert can be.
