Healthy Whole Wheat Cinnamon Apple Cake with Maple Glaze
The perfect, no-fuss fall dessert. This healthy Whole Wheat Cinnamon Apple Sheet Cake with Maple glaze is moist, full of apple flavor, and so easy to make.
Ingredients
- 3 apples I used Granny Smith, cut into 1/4-1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 3 tsp cinnamon separated
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 red apples I used honey crisp, thinly sliced with seeds removed
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once butter is melted, add apple pieces, sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Cook until apples slightly soften (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together flours, remaining cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, oil, and sugars until pale. Stir in milk and vanilla.
- Add dry ingredients to egg mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in apples. Pour batter into prepared pan. Arrange apple slices over batter.
- Bake 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a couple of crumbs are fine!)
- Make the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until well combined. Pour glaze over warm cake.
