Yogurt Pomme-Pomme

Hi there!
We have bad weather these days.
Forecast said it will be partly sunny this afternoon, but it's cloudy.

I had nothing special, but ate sushi in the weekend.
My favorite is anago (conger eel), which is similar to unagi (eel) but less rich and high in protein!

Today, I will translate my popular sweet recipe: Yogurt Pomme-Pomme. It's a high-fiber low-calorie apple cake.
I used to cook this with my mom when I was small.
It is originally from Mademoiselle Ikuko's cookbook.
It is very easy! Even kids can cook :)

Currently, 233 people have made it and said good!

2 eggs
100g (3.5oz.) flour

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees C (392 degrees F). Butter and flour a 20cm (8inch) pie dish.

3. In a large bowl, mix eggs, sugar and cooking oil (optional**). Then add plain yogurt and mix until smooth.
4. Sift in flour and baking powder a small amount at a time, and mix well.
5. Pour half of the mixture in the dish, arrange sliced apples on the mixture, pour the remaining mixture over the apples.

You can either eat at room temperature or refrigerate!

*You can substitute the apple with banana, pineapple, prune, raisin, pear, or any other high fiber fruit goes good!
**You can cook without cooking oil to cut calories!
