Omenapiirakka - Finnish Applecake

Servings: 20


1 1/4 cups yogurt
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 stick butter
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda


5 apples (preferably tart)
cinnamon
cardamom
sugar


Mix yogurt, sour cream, vanilla extract and sugar together. Melt the butter and stir into the mixture. Combine flour and baking soda stir to ensure baking soda is evenly distributed with the flour. Add flour into the yogurt mixture and fold until smooth.


Remove core from the apples and slice them thinly. Mix cinnamon, cardamom and sugar (a little goes a long way) in a bowl and toss the apple slices in the mixture. 


Oil an oven proof dish 12" x 14" and spread the batter evenly. Cover with apple slices (neatly packed in rows) and bake in 390 degrees oven for ca. 30 minutes.


Serve warm with ice cream or cool with butter scotch sauce and whipped cream.
