Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups5% greek yogurt
  • 4eggs
  • 5tbs arrowroot powder ((or cornstarch))
  • ¼ cupgranulated sweetener (of choice)
  • 1 tspvanilla extract
  • salt
  • 1 mediumapple, (cored, peeled + sliced thin)
  • 1 tspcinnamon
  • 1tbs granulated sweetener (of choice)
  • optional garnish: 1/4 cup chopped pecans, 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!
