📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Irish apple cake is a simple cake baked in homes in autumn, the apple harvest season. Tart apples are folded into a rich, buttery batter, sometimes topped with a crunchy crumble before baking. It's classically eaten warm with custard or cream.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On an autumn afternoon in a farmhouse kitchen near the orchard, a fresh cake is sliced and warm custard poured over.
