Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) with a rack in the center position. Generously butter a 9x12-inch baking dish with 2 teaspoons butter.
- 3
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt together in a bowl; set the dry ingredients aside.
- 4
Combine the walnuts, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar, 3 tablespoons melted butter, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl until the walnuts and sugars are thoroughly coated with the butter; set the crumble mixture aside.

Beat 1 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup butter together in a separate bowl with a spatula until well blended.

Whisk in 1 egg until the mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

Whisk in the second egg until thoroughly incorporated. Add the yogurt and vanilla; whisk together.

Add the flour mixture to the yogurt mixture; whisk just until the flour disappears. Do not overmix.

Remove and discard the cores from the apples. Cut the apples into 1/8- to 1/4-inch slices. Stack a few slices; cut down the center lengthwise, then dice crosswise into cubes.

Fold the apples into the cake batter with a spatula until just combined.

Spread 1/2 of the batter in the prepared baking dish; evenly scatter 1/2 of the crumble mixture over the top.

Dollop the remaining 1/2 of the batter over the crumble mixture; spread carefully to distribute evenly, trying not to disturb the crumbs.

Top with the remaining 1/2 of the crumble mixture; press the crumbs into the batter very gently.

Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick or bamboo skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
