This Apple Sheet Cake with Maple Glaze tastes just like fall. The combination of apples, cinnamon and maple syrup screams fall!
Apple Sheet Cake with Maple Glaze

Whenever I have to feed a crowd I love a good sheet cake and this apple sheet cake with maple glaze is a good one and tastes just like fall!

I love apple season here in the Pacific NW.  We get lots of different varieties of apples and I love visiting the Farmer’s Market in the early fall when they let you taste the different varieties.  One of my favorites is Honey Crisp but I’m a big fan of the Granny Smith apple, especially when it comes to baking.  You get good flavor and texture with a granny smith and they are the perfect addition to this apple sheet cake. Apple Sheet Cake with Maple Glaze

Thanks to the apples, this cake is moist and has just the right amount of sweet.

I’m a frosting girl, so for me, the best part of this cake and any cake, is the frosting.  This one is topped with a delicious maple syrup glaze.  The glaze adds an additional touch of sweetness to the cake and the addition of maple syrup makes it feel and taste even more like fall.

    Leigh Anne, Why do we have to give our email every time. I love your site, your recipes, have pinned so many. Beautiful decorating ideas also. However you are not the only site that sticks the sign up before you can read a post. I have started to delete them. Many I have signed up many times only to be told I am signed already.

      Evelyn, Have you signed up for my email? Once you sign up it shouldn’t pop up any more. Let me check the settings on it to make sure it’s o.k.

    Do you think if I replaced the shortening with sour cream, this would still work?

      I have only made the recipe as written so I’m not sure, I might just substitute additional butter.

    When you say shortening, do you mean Crisco?

    Do you add all the ingredients into the hot pot? Instructions kind of vague.
