Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 12

CRUMBLE TOPPING:
4 ounces butter, plus extra for greasing
5 ounces soft light brown sugar
2 large free range eggs
7 ounces plain flour, sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11 ounces peeled, cored and sliced cooking apple (Shouldn't be more than one large apple)
2 ounces vanilla sugar (or substitute caster sugar)
2 ounces plain flour
2 ounces butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 360°F, grease and line a 8-inch cake tin with a removable base. With an electric hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until pale. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until they are incorporated. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until you have a thick cake batter. Stir in the apple slices and pour the batter into the cake tin. The batter will be thick, so use a spatula to spread across the base of the tin. Using a hand blender with a food processor attachment, blend the ingredients for the crumble topping until you get left with rough crumbs. You can also do this by hand in a bowl using your fingertips to combine the ingredients together. Sprinkle the crumble topping on top of the batter. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

IRISH APPLE CRUMBLE CAKE



Irish Apple Crumble Cake image

This Irish Apple Crumble Cake is reminiscent of a coffee cake, filled with tender apples, and topped with crunchy cinnamon sugar crumbles! Just as good for breakfast as it is for dessert!

Provided by mikaela | wyldflour

Yield One 8-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (+3 Tablespoons for the apples)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole milk
2 cups thinly sliced, peeled, cored apples (any variety, but I prefer granny smith) (~2 apples)

Steps:

  • Prepare the apples. Peel, core, and thinly slice apples (~3/8" thick), toss with 3 tablespoons flour, and set aside.
  • Prepare the pan. Generously butter an 8-inch cake pan that is 3-inches deep. (My preference, but you could also use a 9-inch pan or a spring-form pan.) Set aside.
  • Prepare the crumble topping. Use a fork to toss all of the crumble ingredients together in a small bowl until they form clumps of sugary goodness. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare the cake. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking powder, and spices. In a separate, large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Beat in eggs until just incorporated. Beat in vanilla. On low, beat in 1/3 of the flour mixture until just incorporated. Mix in half of the milk. Then beat in half of the remaining flour mixture (i.e., another third). Mix in the remaining milk. Beat in the remaining flour mixture until just incorporated. Use a spatula to fold the apples into the cake batter. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly into the pan. Sprinkle the crumble topping across the cake and bake for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out with only a couple crumbs attached.
  • Cool the cake 30 minutes in the pan if serving warm or cool completely before storing. Store leftovers in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in the pan at room temperature for up to 24 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

IRISH APPLE CAKE



Irish Apple Cake image

An authentic Irish Farmhouse Apple Cake ~ delicious with or without the traditional custard sauce!

Provided by Sue Moran

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup (or 113 grams) unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup (or 100 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3 Tbsp (or 45 ml) whole milk or cream
1 1/4 cups (or 150 grams) all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
about 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced. Mine weighed a little over a pound after slicing.
confectioner's sugar for dusting
3/4 cup (or 96 grams) all purpose flour
1/4 cup (or 25 grams) old fashioned rolled oats
6 Tbsp (or 85 grams) unsalted cold butter (cut in small pieces)
1/2 cup (or 100 grams) granulated sugar
6 large egg yolks
6 Tbsp (or 76 grams) granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups (or 375 ml) whole milk ~ you can also use half and half or cream
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • Set the oven to 350F Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
  • Make the custard sauce ahead of time. Bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile whisk the yolks and sugar until well combined. Drizzle a little of the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking all the time. Drizzle a little more, then transfer that back into the pan of hot milk and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Do this slowly, over medium heat, and I like to use a silicone spoon or spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan as it heats. The mixture will become velvety and thickend, but it will not be as thick as pudding. It will continue to thicken as it cools, so don't overcook or it can curdle. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the custard through a sieve (to catch any stray lumps) into a heat proof jar or bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface so it won't form a skin as it cools. Put in the refrigerator until completely chilled.
  • To make the streusel topping, blend the bits of butter into the flour, sugar, and oats until the butter is incorporated and the mixture has a coarse crumbly texture. Put in the refrigerator.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture, along with the milk or cream.
  • Spoon the batter into your prepared pan, and smooth out evenly. Top with the sliced apples, and then the streusel topping. Note: no need to arrange the apples perfectly, but try to get them in an even layer.
  • Bake for about 50 minutes to an hour, until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out without wet batter clinging to it.
  • Let cool a bit in the pan before removing. Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving.

IRISH APPLE CAKE



Irish Apple Cake image

When Gemma Stafford was growing up in Ireland, her mom always had a cake or crumble on hand just in case someone dropped by for a cup of tea and a chat. Like many traditional Irish desserts, her mom's weren't particularly complicated: What made them so good were ingredients like Irish butter, rhubarb from the garden and sour apples picked from a tree near the house. "In Ireland, everything is local," the chef says. When Gemma started cooking and baking professionally, she became known for over-the-top treats like birthday pound cake and peanut butter fudge ice cream pie (check out her recipes at biggerbolderbaking.com), but she still loves a simple, classic dessert like this one from her mom. "It's a humble cake but it yields a big reward," she says. "A lot of Irish recipes are like that." -Francesca Cocchi for Food Network Magazine.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 tablespoons cold salted butter, plus more for the pan
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
1 stick salted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons milk
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
Confectioners' sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, granulated sugar and salt. Next, rub in the cold butter until fully incorporated and you've reached the texture of coarse breadcrumbs. Set aside in the fridge while you make the cake.
  • Make the cake: Cream the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, then beat in the eggs one at a time. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula along with the milk. Once the batter has formed, transfer it to the prepared pan and lay on the sliced apples, making sure they are arranged in one even layer. Cover the apples with all the streusel topping.
  • Bake the cake until the top is golden brown and crisp, 60 to 70 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before turning out of the pan onto a rack. When ready to serve, dust the cake with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the cake tough.
  • Use a combination of sugars: This will help to create a complex flavor.
  • Don't overbake the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the cake warm: This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Irish apple crumble cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
