Ingredients

½ cup apple purée
⅓ cup caster sugar
2 eggs
½ cup reduced-fat natural Greek yoghurt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup wholemeal self-raising flour
200g canned apple slices

Canned apple slices
Canned pear slices
Cinnamon

Natural Greek yoghurt
Natural yoghurt

Tips

  • Apple and wholemeal flour provide a fibre boost. Fibre helps keep you fuller for longer. 
  • Making homemade cakes allows you to reduce the fat and sugar and add fruit. 
  • Reduced-fat yoghurt is lower in saturated fat than regular yoghurt but still provides calcium. Calcium is important for children’s growth and development.  

  • Store slice, in the fridge, in an airtight container for up to 4 days. 
  • Store individually wrapped slices, in the freezer, for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature to serve. 
  • Stir leftover apple puree and apple slices through yoghurt or porridge or it is delicious warmed and served with roast pork.

  • You can save money by using home brand canned apple, sugar and flour. 

Method

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C.  Grease and line a 20cm x 20cm square baking tin.

Step 2
Add the apple purée and sugar to a large bowl and whisk until combined.

Step 3
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time until combined.

Step 4
Add the yoghurt and cinnamon and whisk to combine.  Add the flour and gently fold through until combined.

Step 5
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin.  Arrange the apple slices on top.  Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6
Stand in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.  Slice and serve.
