Apple Sheet Cake

Jump to Recipe

This moist apple sheet cake is filled with sweetness and warmth from the brown sugar and cinnamon and tied together with lots of fresh chopped apples. It’s a great dessert to enjoy in the fall when apples are in season. 

I love sheet cakes because they are really fast to mix up, they bake pretty fast, and they can feed a crowd. This apple cake takes a little longer because the apples add so much moisture to the batter. But the wait is worth it. 

Ingredients Needed to Make Apple Cake:

(scroll down for complete recipe with measurements) 

• all purpose flour
• white sugar
• brown sugar
• ground cinnamon 
• salt
• baking powder
• baking soda
• olive oil
• eggs
• vanilla extract
• buttermilk – if you don’t have buttermilk just make your own with milk and a splash of lemon juice to make it thicken 
• apples, any variety will work 

Making this cake is literally so simple. I make it in a mixing bowl with a spoon. 

How to Make Apple Sheet Cake:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together.
2. Add the wet ingredients and mix. 
3. Add the peeled and chopped apples.
4. Spread evenly in pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until the center of the cake tests done with a toothpick. Make sure you’re not sticking the toothpick in an apple chunk! 
5. Let the cake cool and enjoy! 

I hope you enjoy the apple sheet cake!
