- When Apples Replace Flour and Sugar: Incredible 3-Ingredient Cake!
I had two apples left at home and wanted to make a simple homemade dessert — no flour, no gluten, and completely guilt-free. The result? A light, healthy cake you can enjoy warm or chilled. This 3-ingredient apple cake couldn’t be easier — just mix everything together and bake! It’s delicious, affordable, and perfect for times when you want something sweet without spending much.
Ingredients:
2 apples
100 g Greek yogurt or Skyr
2 eggs
Substitutions & Tips:
1. You can replace the apples with a banana if you prefer.
2. Greek yogurt can be swapped for full-fat plain yogurt, cottage cheese, or Skyr. Flavored yogurt works too, but I personally like keeping it natural.
3. Since apples are naturally sweet, there’s no need to add sugar. If you like, drizzle a bit of raw, unpasteurized honey on top after baking for extra sweetness.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, yogurt, and eggs. Mix until everything is well combined.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly.
5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cake is set and lightly golden on top.
6. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
7. (Optional) Drizzle with raw honey while still warm.
Serve warm or cold — both are delicious!
Enjoy your easy, healthy, and naturally sweet 3-ingredient apple cake.
