Directions:
1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan and lightly dust it with flour. Set aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
– In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar
– In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2–3 minutes.
4. Incorporate Wet Ingredients
– Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt (or sour cream) until the batter is smooth.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
– Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender. Fold in the diced apples.
6. Pour and Top
– Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients (brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and nuts if using). Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
7. Bake
– Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
8. Serve
– Serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
