We call for fresh or frozen cranberries, but you can use whatever type of berry you have on hand. If you prefer a sweeter taste, use Golden Delicious apples; if you like a little more tartness, use Granny Smiths.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Sugar

¾ cup(s), divided

Ground cinnamon

1½ tsp, divided

All-purpose flour

2 cup(s)

Baking powder

2 tsp

Baking soda

1 tsp

Table salt

½ tsp

Plain fat free yogurt

1 cup(s)

Canola oil

¼ cup(s)

Apple

2 medium, Granny Smith or Golden Delicious, peeled, cored, and cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)

Fresh cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Stir together 2 tbsp sugar and 1⁄2 tsp cinnamon in a cup; set aside.
  3. Whisk together the flour, the remaining sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, the remaining 1 tsp cinnamon, and the salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the yogurt, oil, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add the yogurt mixture, apples, and cranberries to the flour mixture; stir just until blended.
  4. Spoon the batter into the pan; spread evenly. Sprinkle evenly with the reserved cinnamon sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack. Slice into 12 pieces and serve.
