Brown Sugar Apple Cake

I am not much of apple eater, its either i make it into fruit salad or turn it into cakes and bakes. This cake is made using 2 red apples  which i intend to turn into apple pie earlier on. Of course some say that the best baking apple is Granny Smith, the crisp and tart variety of apples abudantly found in many shops., however you can just go with whatever types of apples you have in hand. I have 2 big  Red Fuji apples and that is what i used in the cake and it works just fine. To add moisture  to the cake I incorporated  plain yogurt insteda of the usual milk but it all depends on your preferences.
