Orange Yogurt and Baked Apple Pie
Description
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. Grease a baking pan with oil. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the orange and boil for 5 minutes. Drain the water, pour 4 cups of fresh water into the saucepan, and bring to a boil again. Add the orange and boil for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, sift together flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Remove the orange from the boiling water and add the remaining 1 cup of granulated sugar to the water. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Return the orange to the boiling water and cook until the orange softens, about 5 minutes. Drain the water and blend the orange in a food processor with 1/4 cup of yogurt, orange zest, egg, honey, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake the cake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, powdered sugar, and the remaining 1/4 cup of yogurt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the glaze thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack. Pour the glaze over the cake. Let stand until the glaze is absorbed. Serve the cake with sliced baked apples. The dessert is ready. Serve at the table.
