Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:

   • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s perfectly heated when you’re ready to bake.

2. Prepare the Apples:

   • Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Set them aside for now. 🍏✨

3. Mix the Base:

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat together 2/3 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
   • Add the egg, 1/4 cup of low-fat plain yogurt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Beat well to combine. 🥄

4. Combine Dry Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, mix 1 2/3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of ginger, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

5. Incorporate Dry and Wet Ingredients:

   • Gradually fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with 2/3 cup of applesauce. Make three additions of the dry ingredients and two of the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. 🥣🍎

6. Prepare the Pan:

   • Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan and spoon the batter into it.

7. Arrange the Apples:

   • Place the thinly sliced apples in overlapping concentric circles on top of the batter. This will create a beautiful pattern once baked. 🍏✨

8. Make the Topping:

   • In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
   • Brush this mixture generously over the arranged apples. This will add a lovely glaze and extra flavor to the cake. 🍎✨

9. Bake the Cake:

   • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes. To check if the cake is done, insert a cake tester or a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. 🕒🍰

10. Cool the Cake:

    • Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.
    • Carefully remove the side of the springform pan and allow the cake to cool completely. This helps the flavors to meld and makes it easier to slice. 🍏✨

Enjoy Your Cake:

This Double Apple Cake is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a cozy family brunch or a delightful dessert for a special gathering. The combination of fresh apples and applesauce gives it a moist texture, while the cinnamon-sugar topping adds a beautiful finish and an irresistible aroma. Serve it warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy every bite! 🍰🍏✨
