Mini apple loaf cakes

I sift flour and baking powder into a bowl.

I add sugar and vanillin.

Cinnamon and grated lemon zest.

In another bowl, I combine yoghurt, eggs and oil.

I whisk well.

I add to the dry ingredients and mix without overworking.

I peel and dice 1 apple and add it.

I butter and flour a mini loaf tin; little muffins or a large tin work too.

I divide the mixture between the moulds.

I peel and slice the other apple and push the slices halfway into the mixture.

I bake at 180°C for 20 minutes. A dry skewer means they are cooked. I brushed with apricot glaze made by heating a tablespoon apricot jam with a tablespoon water, straining and brushing over the cakes.

Very soft and fragrant. For more flavour, add a splash of grappa; it works beautifully!
