Old-fashioned Irish Apple Cake

This Irish apple cake is an old-fashioned favorite.

Topped with an irresistible streusel topping, this might just be my favorite dessert.

It’s like a cross between coffee cake and apple pie. Two of my favorite things!

Perfect for breakfast with a warm cup of coffee.

How To Store It ?

This traditional Irish Apple Cake can be covered and stored in an airtight container at cool room temperature.

Coffee cakes and Tea cakes like this are always best when kept at room temperature. There is no fresh cream or anything that requires it to be refrigerated and the texture and flavor are so much better at room temperature rather than cold from the fridge. If you live in a hot country, refrigerate, then remove to room temperature one hour before serving.
