1-Preheat and Prepare: First, set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease an 8-inch square tin with parchment paper to avoid any sticking. This step is crucial for even baking and easy removal. Once that’s done, mix your dry ingredients in a bowl to ensure everything blends smoothly.

2-Mixing the Batter: Next, in one bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and chopped apples for that fresh burst. In another, whisk the eggs, vanilla, oil, and yogurt until just mixed don’t overdo it, as that keeps the cake light. For a vegan twist, use flax eggs here to keep things simple.

3-Combine Mixtures: Now, gently fold the wet mix into the dry one with a spoon, stirring only until combined. This avoids a dense cake, letting the apples shine through. Pour the batter into your tin and smooth it out for even cooking.

4-Baking and Finishing Touches: For the topping, stir together sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to make a crumbly mix, then sprinkle it over the batter. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a skewer comes out clean your kitchen will smell amazing! Let it cool on a rack before adding the glaze, which is just icing sugar mixed with milk for a sweet finish.
