In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: 3 cups Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Mix the wet ingredients together quickly.

Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing with a mixer until each is fully incorporated.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.

Preheat the oven and line a springform pan with parchment paper.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Arrange the prepared apple quarters in a circle over the batter, pressing them lightly into the batter.

Bake in the oven for 45 minutes.

Let the cake rest for a while after baking, then transfer it to a wire rack.

Slice and serve the cake, optionally adding Greek yogurt or whipped cream on top.
