These delicious Apple Yogurt Swirls are made without yeast but resemble a yeast dough. We call this dough “Quark Öl Teig” which translates to “Quark Oil Dough”. Quark is hard to find outside of Germany but in this recipe, you can simply replace it with yogurt. We actually even use this dough (leaving out the sugar) for pizza.
The taste of the apple yogurt swirls is a little on the sweet & tangy side since the apples are tangy, there is lemon zest and I also used lemon juice for the glaze. I love this mix!
