Ingredients: 1/2 cup brown sugar; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 2 cups apples; 1/3 cup sugar; 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; 2 tablespoons cornstarch; 2 teaspoons water; 1/3 cup butter; 3/4 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 cup applesauce; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 2 eggs; 2 1/4 cups flour; 1 teaspoons baking powder; 1 teaspoons baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

Filling

Mix brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine apples, granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, cornstarch and water. Heat on medium heat for 5-6 minutes until apples soften and the liquid thickens. Set aside to cool.

Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×13 pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In large bowl, mix the butter and sugar together for 3 minutes until fluffy.
Add the applesauce, vanilla, and eggs and mix on medium until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Add the dry mixture and the Greek yogurt in alternating parts, starting and ending with the dry. Mix until just combined.
Spread 1/2 of the cake batter in the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with the apple mixture, spreading carefully to cover the batter. Then top with 2/3 of the brown sugar, sprinkling all over the apple mixture.
Cover with the remaining batter and sprinkle the remaining 1/3 of the brown sugar all over the top.
Bake 35 minutes and then start checking temperature of cake. Cake is done when the center reaches 205 degrees.
