Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or cake pan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Add 1/3 cup maple syrup and cinnamon, stirring until combined.
  3. Remove from heat and arrange apple slices in a circular pattern over the butter and maple mixture.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup maple syrup until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, beating well after each addition.
  6. Alternately add the flour mixture and Greek yogurt to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  7. Carefully spread the batter over the arranged apples.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
  10. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
