Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 4 apples
Dairy:
- 2 plain yogurt
Main Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) flour
- 50 grams (1.75 ounces) melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a buttered baking dish.
- Carefully peel and dice the apples into uniform, bite-sized cubes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yogurts, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, flour, melted butter, and baking powder until a smooth, homogeneous batter forms.
- Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the apple-laden batter into the prepared buttered baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the flan to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving, which will help it set and make slicing easier.
Notes
- Choose ripe, firm apples like Granny Smith or Golden Delicious for the best texture and balanced sweetness in the flan.
- Gently fold apple pieces into the batter to prevent overmixing, which can make the dessert dense and tough.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend to maintain the tender crumb.
- Enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to complement the apple’s natural taste and create a warming aroma.
