Ingredients:
1 apple, peeled and grated
1 egg
2 tbsp sugar
150 grams (2/3 cup) yogurt
A pinch of salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
140 grams (4.93 oz or 2/3 cup + 1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
Instructions:
Prepare the Batter:
Grate the Apple:
Peel and grate 1 apple into a bowl.

Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, mix 140 grams flour with 1/2 tsp baking powder.
