Can I use other apples besides Granny Smith?

Absolutely! You can use a combination of apples for a more complex flavor. Honeycrisp or Jonagold apples also work beautifully alongside Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and tartness.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. Just warm up a slice in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying.

Can I freeze Apple Cinnamon Sheet Cake?

Yes! Once cooled, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag to freeze. The cake will keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

What’s the best way to ensure my cake doesn’t stick to the pan?

Greasing your baking pan and lining it with parchment paper helps prevent sticking. Additionally, wait until the cake has cooled for at least 20 minutes in the pan before removing it to allow the structure to firm up.

Can I make this cake vegan?

Yes! You can replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk in place of buttermilk. It’s easy to adjust the recipe to maintain all the delicious flavors without the animal products.
