Apple Raisin Cake

It’s hard to think of something that feels more like fall than this Apple Raisin Cake.

It’s packed full of delicious ingredients like apples, raisins, cinnamon, and walnuts. It’s healthier than a traditional cake, thanks to whole-wheat flour, olive oil, and honey.

That said, it’s definitely still a treat, so don’t go overboard!

All you’ll need is a big sheet pan. When it’s done, just cut into squares and serve. No fancy layers, frosting, or decorating required!

For an extra something, serve with a small scoop of frozen yogurt. It also tastes delicious with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, as a healthier alternative to whipped cream.

Wrap leftovers tightly with plastic wrap to keep the cake moist.
