I love apples and any recipe with apples in them. This one reminds me of caramel apples...did I mention I love caramel too???? The cake is super moist and the icing you could eat with a spoon. Sheet cakes are great to bring to a fall party, little squares of yum! This is so worth the work! This is What's Cookin on Beaty's Creek today.

2 cups flour
1 t baking powder
1/2 baking soda
1 t sea salt
2 t cinnamon
1 cup canola oil
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 t vanilla
1/2 whole milk
5 apples-peeled and shredded
Mix all of your dry ingredients together. Add in oil, eggs, vanilla, and milk and mix until all comes together. Now fold in the shredded apples. Now pour cake in a parchment lined jelly roll pan, smooth top evenly and bake at 350' for 20 minutes. Cool completely.
