Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling and cutting four apples into large pieces. Sprinkle them with lemon juice to prevent browning and add flavor.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until they’re fully blended and slightly frothy.
  3. Add the sugar and vanilla to the eggs, then continue to beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Melt the butter and pour it into the egg mixture. Add the yogurt as well, mixing everything until it’s well integrated.
  5. In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until you achieve a homogeneous batter. Be careful not to overmix!
Baking
  1. Grease a baking dish and pour 2/3 of the batter into it, spreading it evenly.
  2. Arrange the apple pieces on top of the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed.
  3. Pour the remaining batter over the apple pieces, ensuring they are covered.
  4. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C (360 degrees F) and bake the pie for about 40 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and rises nicely.
  5. Once out of the oven, while the pie is still warm, brush a thin layer of peach or apricot jam over the top for a lovely glossy finish.
Serving
  1. Serve your apple pie warm, ideally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that extra indulgence!

Notes

Keep an eye on your pie towards the end of baking. If it starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Leftover apple pie can be kept covered at room temperature for up to two days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can freeze your apple pie before or after baking.
