Ingredients

For the cake:

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup approximately 1 large sweet apple, peeled and roughly chopped
1 cup approximately 1 large tart apple, peeled and roughly chopped
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or equal amount vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
For the cinnamon topping:
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted

For the glaze:

1/4 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Add the chopped apple and stir to combine.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk eggs, vanilla, oil and yogurt briefly just to break up the egg yolks.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Be careful not to over mix. Spoon batter into prepared cake pan.
To make the cinnamon topping, combine cinnamon, sugar, and butter. Mix together with a fork until lumpy and wet. Sprinkle over cake batter.
Bake cake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, mix together powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk. Stir until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk. Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake.
