Apple Sheet Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a large, 12x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Combine 14 tablespoons butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
• Mix flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt in a bowl. Alternate adding flour mixture and eggs to the creamed butter mixture. Spread batter onto the prepared baking sheet; dough is very sticky, so use a spatula to spread it onto the tray. Distribute sliced apples evenly on top and drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle with raisins.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Place an inverted baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly flour your work surface. Roll each round of pie dough out to a 12-inch circle. Place 1 round of dough on one side of a baking sheet, allowing about 1 inch of excess dough to hang over each side. Repeat this process with another round of dough on the long side of the baking sheet, slightly overlapping the rounds. Cut the third round of dough in half. Use the halves to cover the remainder of the baking sheet, being sure to leave about 1 inch excess dough on all sides. Prick the dough with a fork and cover with parchment paper. Use cookie cutters to cut hearts out of the fourth round of dough. Place the hearts on top of the parchment paper. Place the baking sheet with the crust and hearts in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
• To prepare the filling, place a stockpot over medium heat. Add the apples, butter, brown sugar, cardamom and salt. Cook until the sugar dissolves into the melted butter, creating a loose syrup, 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle in the cornstarch and bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the cranberry sauce and cook, stirring, until combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the dried cranberries and vanilla.
• Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator. Lift off the sheet of parchment with the hearts on it and set aside. Pour the filling over the crust and spread into an even layer with a spatula. Lightly press the excess dough over the edges of the filling to create a rustic crust. Decorate the filling and crust with the hearts.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the egg mixture over the crust and hearts.
• Place the pie on top of the preheated baking sheet and bake until the filling bubbles and the crust is golden brown, about 55 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon zest with the last egg.
• Combine 2 3/4 cups flour and baking powder. Sift over butter mixture and quickly beat into batter with the electric mixer running on low speed.
• Combine apple slices, lemon juice, and cinnamon sugar in a bowl and fold into batter. Spread batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon applesauce onto batter and spread out evenly.
• Combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 cup cubed butter, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, almond meal, and 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar in a bowl and mix into streusel. Sprinkle streusel over applesauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven until streusel is lightly browned and cake is set, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Prepare the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch glass or light colored metal baking pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar and eggs until pale and foamy. Add the applesauce, oil, spices and salt. Whisk to combine.
• Add the 2 cups flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk until well combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and firmly tap the pan on a countertop a few times to release air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack.
• When the cake is cool, make the frosting: Add the cream cheese, butter and cinnamon to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then turn the speed up to medium-high and whip until smooth and fluffy.
• Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Cream together the eggs, oil and sugar.
• In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt and baking soda.
• Combine all.
• Now add your nuts, vanilla and apples.
• Note~this batter is VERY stiff, don't worry, it's suppose to be that way. When the apples cook they add plenty of moisture to the cake to make it moist. Plus, your going to add more moisture when your glaze soaks inches.
• Pour into a greased and floured 9 X 13 cake pan. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake.
• In a sauce pan, combine your glaze ingredients and boil for a few minutes. Set aside.
• When cake is done, puncture the top of cake with a fork, quite a bit. Pour on your glaze.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray a 9-by-13-inch pan with nonstick spray, and line with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of excess on each side to eventually help you lift the cooked cake out of the pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
• In a small pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to heat the butter, stirring occasionally, until the solids begin to brown and the butter smells nutty, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and cool for 20 minutes.
• Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl and whisk to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well to fully incorporate each before adding the next. Add the vanilla and whisk to combine.
• Add about half of the flour mixture and whisk to incorporate. (If necessary, switch to a spatula or wooden spoon at this point.) Add the sour cream and mix to combine. Add the remaining flour and mix to combine.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Press the 12 apple segments partly into the batter, spacing them evenly throughout and keeping in mind that you want each of 12 square slices to have one apple quarter.
• Transfer to the oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean, and you should be able to easily pierce an apple with a small knife. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
• Just before serving, use the parchment flaps to lift the cake out of the pan. Combine the confectioners' sugar with the cinnamon and dust the surface of the cake generously with the cinnamon sugar. Cut into 12 square pieces or 24 triangles.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger portion to fit the bottom and sides of a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Arrange apples over crust. Combine the sugar, cornflakes, cinnamon and nutmeg; sprinkle over apples., Roll out remaining dough to fit top of pie; place over apples. Seal edges; cut slits in top. Brush with egg white.
