In a large bowl, add the eggs, lemon zest and yoghurt. Mix with a hand balloon whisk until well combined.
Add the oil, sugar, sift in the flour, baking powder and cinnamon and mix again just until combined.
Fold in the apples (set aside a few for on top), and pour the mixture into prepared pan.
Top with remaing sliced apples, slightly overlapping each other. Start from the outer side working to the center.
Sprinkle light brown sugar on top of apples with a few chopped walnuts if using. Bake in oven for 45 minutes.
