Apple streusel sheet cake
I love baking with apples, especially in the fall! Those fresh apples are so delicious when they are just harvested, or perhaps picked from your own tree, and available in abundance. This apple sheet cake with cinnamon streusel is perfect for fall baking and will make the whole house smell like a crisp fall morning with a hint of cinnamon 😉 . It’s an incredibly easy recipe, so let’s get to it!
Easy apple sheet cake
This apple sheet cake recipe has become a new family favorite. Because, what a treat it is! And the best part is that it is incredibly easy to make. You make the cake like a ‘normal’ cake. The apples are just sliced and tossed with some cinnamon and lemon, and the streusel topping is just a matter of mixing the ingredients. Tip: I like to make the streusel topping in a food processor. It’s super quick and easy, just make sure you mix it very briefly.
Favorite apple desserts
I must say, I had even more ideas for yummy apple recipes to make for this fall. Now that the apples are at their best, and especially when the cooler weather starts, we should enjoy it right? This sheet cake makes for a great dessert, especially when it’s still a little bit warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Another lovely fall-proof baking recipe is this fig tart, it’s definitely worth a try. But for now: let’s make this delicious apple sheet cake!
