Easy Irish Apple Cake Recipe
Quick to mix and super simple Irish apple cake! I like it as a coffee cake with breakfast, served warm with my maple butter, but you decide.

- 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
- 3 -4 cooking apples

- 1 -3 tablespoon milk
- 1 -3 tablespoon granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- Grease an 8-inch springform pan.
- Cut wax paper to fit and line the bottom of the pan.
- Sift flour, salt, and ground cloves into a large bowl.
- Cut in the butter until the mixture has the consistency of fine crumbs.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples.
- Add the apples and sugar to the flour mixture.
- Stir in the eggs and enough milk to leave the dough stiff.
- Turn the dough into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar.

- HINT: The best thing about this Irish dessert recipe is that it is absolutely delicious served either warm or cold. If served warm, consider topping it with heavy cream.
