👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking dish or line with parchment.
Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Cream wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter/oil and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla and yogurt/sour cream.
Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing just until combined. Fold in chopped apples and nuts if using.
Pour and top: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping over the batter if desired.
Bake for 35–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool & serve: Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
