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