This Apple Sheet Cake tastes just like fall. Apples, cinnamon and maple syrup makes the perfect combination for cooler weather.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Whenever I have to feed a crowd I love a good sheet cake and this apple sheet cake is a good one.

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. Thanks to the apples, this cake is moist and has just the right amount of sweet. And it is all perfeftlly complimented by a maple glaze.
