butter

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with less fat.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness with a different flavor profile.

vanilla extract

🥗Healthier: vanilla bean

💰Cheaper: vanilla flavor

Vanilla bean provides a more intense flavor.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.

In a bowl, mix apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice; set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add breadcrumbs and toast until golden, about 5 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.

In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; mix well.

Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

Grease a baking dish with butter; layer half of the apple mixture at the bottom.

Pour half of the batter over the apples, followed by the remaining apples, and finally the rest of the batter.

Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs on top of the final layer of batter.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool slightly before serving with whipped cream.
