I made this Greek yogurt apple cake for my dog Milo’s birthday last month. The yogurt made the cake tangy, and he ate the first piece before I could take a photo.

I store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Milo gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us two days.
