- 2 cups amaretti
- 2 3/4 cups Golden apples (cleaned)
- 7 oz Greek yogurt

Tools

Preparation of Apple and Breadcrumb Cake
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add the brown sugar, breadcrumbs, and finally the amaretti coarsely crushed by hand. Mix until well combined with the eggs.
Clean the apples, cut them into pieces, and add them to the egg and bread mixture.
Add the sifted baking powder and mix to incorporate it well with the other ingredients.
Finally, add the Greek yogurt and mix everything well.
Line a 24-inch baking pan with damp, squeezed parchment paper.
Pour the apple and breadcrumb cake mixture, smooth it out well, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 40 minutes.
Once the cake is baked, always do the toothpick test, turn off the oven, sprinkle with brown sugar, and leave in the oven for 5/7 minutes.
Now remove it from the oven and let it cool.
And voilà… once cooled, your apple and breadcrumb cake is ready to be served for breakfast.
Useful Tips
I used Greek yogurt, but regular yogurt and any flavor you like is fine.
If you have a 150 g yogurt pack, you can add 50 g of milk (sometimes I do)
