Ingredients
  

Apple Topping

  • 2 large or 4 small apples chopped into 1 inch cubes, skin on
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Sprinkle nutmeg
  • 1 ½ teaspoon flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup honey*

Honey Cake

  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature (113g)
  • 1 cup honey 340g
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup full fat greek yogurt 60g
  • 1 ¾ cup flour 220g
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
  • Make the Apple Topping: Add the chopped apples to a glass baking dish (8x10 or 9x13 would work). Sprinkle the lemon juice and vanilla extract over the apples. Add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a small bowl or cup to combine, then sprinkle over the apples. Drizzle honey over the apples. Toss it all together. Cook the apples for 20 minutes while preparing the cake.
  • Make the Honey Cake: Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or an electric hand mixer, beat the butter and honey together until fully combined. Add eggs one at a time and mix until combined, then the yogurt and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the top and lightly mix the dry ingredients together before folding into the batter. Pour the batter into the springform pan.
  • Once the apples have cooked for 20 minutes, lower the heat to 350 degrees. Add the cake to the middle rack, apples to the top rack.
  • Cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the cake is no longer wobbly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Check on the apples. They should be soft but not burnt.
  • Take the cake out and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Scoop the apples over the cooled cake.
