    Ingredients

    All the ingredients you need to make fresh apple sheet cake at home.
    • Apples - red, sweet apples that are good for baking; I usually use pink lady to make this fresh apple recipe.
    • Flour - all you need is all-purpose flour.
    • Butter - unsalted, melted, and cooled.
    • Sugar - regular granulated white sugar is great for this recipe.
    • Eggs - medium-sized eggs (63 to 73 grams per piece) at room temperature.
    • Milk - whole cream milk would be excellent.
    • Vanilla extract, baking, and cinnamon powder - just use your favorite brand.
