Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt

3/4 cup undiluted apple juice concentrate

1/3 cup light brown sugar

1 beaten egg

OR 2 egg whites

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups peeled tart apple

cut into 1/2-inch dice

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

 

12 servings

 

It may seem odd to use the word " fresh " in the title of this recipe, since

most apple desserts use fresh apples. Somehow, though, this cake

highlights the fresh flavor of apples better than almost any apple dessert

I've had. It's one of those foolproof recipes that I rely on quite often

when I want an easy and tasty homemade dessert for guests.

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

 

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, combine

the yogurt, juice, sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla and stir vigorously to

combine. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the

wet mixture. Stir together until thoroughly combined, then stir in the

apples and walnuts.

 

Pour into an oiled 9-by 13-inch baking pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or

until golden and a knife inserted into the center tests clean.
