Healthy Apple Crumb Cake Recipe

Hi Guys, 

On my weight loss journey, I have been on the pursuit to find recipes that are delicious and equally healthy. This weekend I created a healthy apple crumb cake inspired 

by Lindsay's low fat crumb coffee cake. 

The Ingredients are as follows: 

FOR THE CAKE

• 3/4 Cups Brown Sugar
• 2 Medium Eggs
• 1 Cup All Purpose Whole Wheat Flour
• 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt
• 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 2 Cups Apples, Peeled, Cored & Chopped
• 
  

FOR THE TOPPING

• 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 3 Tablespoon Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Butter, Softened

FOR THE APPLE SAUCE

• 3 Apples, Peeled, Cored &  Chopped
• 1/2 Cup of Water
• 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Preheat Oven to 350F. Spray an 9*9 Baking Pan with butter, cooking spay or a little bit of oil.

2. For the cake:

• In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and eggs and beat until mixed
• In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda and cinnamon.
• Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat until combined
• Add the greek yogurt and vanilla extract.
• Add in the Apple Pieces in to the mixture, then pour the whole thing into the baking pan. 

3. For the Topping:

• Combine topping ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle topping over the cake mixture

4. Bake until golden brown, approximately 20-20 minutes, depending on your oven. Remove from the oven and let cool. Add the Apple Sauce to top off. 

4. For the Apple Sauce: 

• In a saucepan, combine Apples, Water, Brown Sugar and Cinnamon. Cover for about 15-20 minutes. Cover and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until apples are soft. Allow to cool and top off your apple crumb cake with some apple sauce. (Applesauce Credit: Sarah's Applesauce)
