Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Add the chopped apple and stir to combine.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk eggs, vanilla, oil and yogurt briefly just to break up the egg yolks.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Be careful not to over mix. Spoon batter into prepared cake pan.
To make the cinnamon topping, combine cinnamon, sugar, and butter. Mix together with a fork until lumpy and wet. Sprinkle over cake batter.
Bake cake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, mix together powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk. Stir until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk. Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake.
