1-Getting Started: First, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) standard or 160°C (320°F) fan-forced, and grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. This helps the cake release smoothly and keeps it from sticking. Measure out all your ingredients ahead of time to make mixing a breeze.

2-Mixing the Batter: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and chopped apple, mixing briefly to blend everything. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, oil, and Greek yogurt until lightly combined. Add the wet mix to the dry ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon until just mixed don’t overdo it, as that keeps the cake tender.

3-Adding the Topping and Baking: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth it out. For the cinnamon topping, mix the sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until it forms clumps, then sprinkle it evenly over the batter. Pop it in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once it’s done, let the cake cool completely on a wire rack. For the glaze, mix the icing sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth, adding more milk if needed, and drizzle it over the top. This adds a sweet finish that makes every slice extra special. If you’re looking for more cake ideas, try this blueberry cream cheese crumb cake for a fruity twist.
