- Preheat the oven to 180˚C/160˚C fan/gas mark 4. Line a 23cm cake tin with non-stick parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the polenta, ground almonds, sugar and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
- Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
- Transfer the mixture in the prepared tin. Top with the slices of apple; they may sink, but that’s not a problem.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool fully.
- Dust with icing sugar, then slice and serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
