There are desserts that rhyme with simplicity, sweetness and childhood memories. The apple and yoghurt flan is one of them. It’s one of those recipes that you make without stress, with the ingredients you have on hand, and that perfumes the kitchen with a reassuring scent of cooked apple and vanilla.
In this revisited version, the flan is lighter thanks to the yoghurt, which replaces some of the milk or cream often used in traditional recipes. The result: a melting, almost foamy texture, which contrasts wonderfully with the softness of the slightly caramelized apples in the oven.
This dessert is also an opportunity to sublimate apples that have been forgotten in the fruit basket. Whether you use Golden for their sweetness or Reines des Reinettes for their slight acidity, they will go wonderfully with the vanilla flan batter. And for a more autumnal touch, a pinch of cinnamon enhances the whole with finesse.
Another significant asset: this flan is without dough, so it is very quick to prepare. In about ten minutes, it is ready to be put in the oven. It’s the perfect recipe for an impromptu snack, a Sunday dessert or even a gourmet and nourishing breakfast.
As you can see, this apple and yogurt flan has it all: a simple list of ingredients, a minimum of effort, and a result that is always appreciated. All you have to do is follow the steps step by step to make it a success for sure!

October 16, 2025 by admin
H2 – Step 1: Preparation of the ingredients
Preheat the oven to 180°C (th. 6).
Lightly butter or oil a cake or flan pan.
Peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into thin strips.
H2 – Step 2: Making the flan batter
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until the mixture whitens and becomes foamy.
Stir in the plain yoghurt, vanilla extract, then add the flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
Mix until you get a homogeneous and smooth dough.
H2 – Step 3: Incorporating the apples and cooking
Add the apple slices to the batter. Toss gently to coat them well.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula if necessary.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the flan is golden brown. The blade of a knife should come out clean.
🧊 Tips and Advice
To rest in the fridge: Let cool, then place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before eating. The flan gains in hold and freshness.
Indulgent variation: Add a handful of raisins dipped in rum, or sprinkle with dark chocolate chips for a more indulgent version.
No refined sugar: Replace the sugar with honey (2 tbsp.) or agave syrup.
❤️ Conclusion
This apple and yoghurt flan is a nice light alternative to traditional desserts. Perfectly balanced between melting, fruity sweetness and airy texture, it appeals to young and old alike. A recipe to have on hand all year round!
