The holidays are just around the corner, and this simple sheet cake is a great way to celebrate with baking. It doesn't need much apples, and besides slicing, coring, and peeling the apples, the rest is easy and the result is a perfectly moist cake full of apples and cinnamon flavor.
This recipe will also come soon on my baking blog! Check out my blog here: Michael's Test Kitchen
