No Egg Apple Rhubarb Buckle

This is a good one if you have an egg allergy, if you're looking to lower cholesterol or if you just ran out of eggs. Of course, you can substitute actual eggs for the egg substitute too :)

Ingredients:

2 cups apples, chopped

1/4 cup rhubarb, chopped

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp zest of lemon or orange

2 eggs OR 6 tbsps water with 2 tbsps chia seeds

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt

Crumb topping:

1/2 cup flour

2 tbsps brown sugar

1/2 tsp salt

2-4 tbsps butter, at room temperature

Combine apples, rhubarb and 1/2 cup sugar and set aside. I had a few young stalks of rhubarb so 1/4 cup was all I had, but you could use more rhubarb if you like just adjust so that you end up with 2 1/4 cups of fruit in total.

This chia seed egg substitue is so neat! Mix the water and chia seeds together and let sit a few minutes for the seeds to absorb the water. It'll kinda gel.

Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together. In a large mixing bowl combine butter, 1/2 cup sugar and zest. Then add the eggs or egg substitute and the vanilla extract.

Add dry ingredients to the wet in 2 or 3 additions alternating with the yogurt to get this thick batter. Spread in a parchment lined 9 X 9" baking pan.

Top with the fruit then combine the crumb topping ingredients and sprinkle over all.

Bake at 350F for 1 hour or until golden.

Cool completely in pan before cutting.
