Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Coat loaf pan with oil spray. Dust with flour; tap out excess.

Step 2

Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

Step 3

Add yogurt, oil, eggs, extracts, sugar, and whisk to blend. Fold in dry ingredients just until it’s fully combined.

Step 4

Add the pie filling and gently fold it into the batter. It does not have to be pretty. You should have streaks throughout it.

Step 5

Pour batter into prepared pan, being sure it’s not too full. Split into smaller tins for remaining batter. Cupcakes turn out well! Smooth top. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake until top of cake is golden brown and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, 50–55 minutes.

Step 6

Let cake cool completely before removing from pan. Serve with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Goes well with tea or coffee.
