Irish Apple Cake with Walnuts

March 15, 2021 Desserts, Food + Recipes, Holiday, sweets and treats, Uncategorized

Irish Apple Cake is the perfect streusel-like cake that has a good bite of apples inside of it. This easy apple cake only takes minutes to prepare its batter and less than an hour to bake.

This delicious recipe is brought to you in partnership with Superfresh Growers Thank you for supporting the brands that support RosalynnDaniels.com

When it comes to this cake, it brings back great memories from when I was a child. My neighbor in Virginia Beach would always make this cake and bring it to us around this time of year.

So I decided to give the recipe a go and thankfully it taste just like the one that my neighbor would bring. However, I decided to add a little bit of a twist to the recipe to include the ingredients that I always wanted to taste when I took a bite.

First I added walnuts to give a little more texture to each bite. Plus, who doesn’t love walnuts and apples? Next, I went with Autumn Glory Apples in lieu of green apples. And lastly, I decided not to include the custard icing in my recipe. It is delicious, but for me it just makes the cake too sweet. I have a recipe for it below if you feel the need to have it. 

What does Irish Apple Cake Taste like?

This cake is a bit like a strudel, and it’s really dense. I love eating it with tea or coffee, or as a snack. In a way it taste like the cake version of my Apple Fritter Muffins.

  • Autumn Glory Apples

One thing to remember when making this recipe is that the batter is supposed to be dough-like. Be sure to not over mix it.
