Apfelkuchen mit Skyr Zutaten

7 common tips for apple pie with Sykr

1. Can I use regular yogurt instead of Skyr?

Yes! Plain yogurt (3.5%) or Greek yogurt work great. Skyr makes it fluffier, but yogurt makes it a bit moister. Result: still 5 stars!

2. Which apple variety is best?

Baking apples like Elstar, Jonagold, or Braeburn stay crisp when baked. Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning! Tip: Use organic apples, then you can skip peeling.

3. Why is my cake cracking?

The baking temperature was too high or the oven preheated too quickly. Start at 170°C (convection oven), reduce to 160°C after 20 minutes. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes beforehand.

4. Can I freeze the cake?

Perfect! Cut into pieces, put in freezer bags, keep for up to 3 months. To thaw: leave at room temperature for 2 hours or bake at 120°C for 10 minutes, tastes fresh!

5. Calories per piece (12 pieces)?

Approx. 121 kcal/piece (with whole milk, regular butter). Low Fat: Skyr 0.21 TP3T + rapeseed oil → 121 kcal. Calculator: MyFitnessPal compatible.

6. Going vegan?

Yes! Skyr → coconut yogurt, egg → flaxseed egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water), milk → oat milk. Result: 95% identical

7. How long will the cake keep?

Keeps for 2 days at room temperature (cover!), 5 days in the refrigerator. Keeps fresher longer with Skyr. Tip: On the second day with vanilla ice cream = world champion!

  2. Hello. This is a fantastic recipe that I'd love to try on Sunday. Best regards, Sofia

  3. Hi, I baked the apple cake yesterday at lunchtime and it's really super easy and quick to make. The dough is light and fluffy and the apples taste fantastic with it. Thank you so much for the recipe! Best regards, Laura

  4. When do the apples go into the pan – before the dough or on top of the dough?

  5. I'm eating my third piece right now :-))
    The cake is incredibly fluffy.
    I love SKYR, but I wanted to try baking with COCONUT MILK.
    Definitely YES.
    I chose the ones with the highest fat content.
    Thank you Tina-Maria for the recipe.
    Great that you don't like it too sweet either.
    Others would have used twice the amount of Xucker. I used erythritol.

  6. I was just looking for a recipe to use up too much Skyr. I'm going to try this, but with the first rhubarb of the year that I harvested yesterday. Mmm, I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks for the great recipe!

      1. Me too. I realized halfway through that I was out of baking powder. So, after some internet research, I replaced it with a shot of gin – so far it looks pretty good. Taste test to follow later.

  7. Hello.
    I must have done something wrong. My cake isn't fluffy at all, it's rather dense.

  8. GOOD MORNING,
    Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe. We love this light, very fluffy apple cake. Before it goes in the oven, I sprinkle a little raw cane sugar on top; I leave out the powdered sugar later. 😉
    I have it in the oven right now and it smells wonderful.

    Best regards
    TINA

    Oh my God !!!!
    That treat is so yummy yummy 😍😍
    I chose sugar, and it's not sweet at all. I don't know when I last ate such a delicious apple pie.
    Above all, it's fluffy and not so compact 😍😍
    Thank you for this delicious recipe.

    Best regards

    I've tried your recipe twice today.
    Since I was a few eggs short, I used bananas instead. I have to say, the bananas add an extra flavor ♥️ I love it!
