Instructions
Brown Sugar/Cinnamon Mixture
Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.
1 Cup brown sugar, 1 Tbls. cinnamon
Apples
Add the lemon juice to the diced apples and mix to coat the apples. Add the granulated sugar, and cinnamon to the diced apples and mix.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a 9 X 13 cake pan and spray with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, and softened butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
1 1/2 Cups granulated sugar, 1 Cup butter
Beat in eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract and yogurt.
3 Large eggs, 2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract, 1 Cup Yogurt
Whisk the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add a little at a time and mix until just mixed.
3 Cups all-purpose flour, 2 Tsp. Baking Powder
Pour half the cake batter into the cake pan; add half of the apple mixture; sprinkle 1/2 of the brown sugar cinnamon mixture on top of the apple layer.
Pour the remaining cake batter over the apple layer and top with the remaining chopped apples and brown sugar cinnamon mixture. (I actually spooned on the remaining cake batter all over the apple layer, then used a knife to spread it evenly).
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Approximately 60 minutes.
Icing Glaze
Combine the powdered sugar and the milk or cream until well blended.
1-3 Tbl. milk or cream, 1 Cup powdered sugar
Once the cake has cooled drizzle the icing over the top. Enjoy
