Irish Apple Cake Recipe
Not only is this Irish apple cake pretty easy to make, but it is also super yummy! Most of the ingredients you will already have in your kitchen. I love it when a recipe uses mostly things I already have. It saves me from having to do a lot of shopping.
To make this cake you will need a 9-inch springform pan. You could also use a push pan if you don’t have a springform pan.

How To Make This Cake:
Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees. Then butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice for about 20 seconds.
Then add the cut butter pieces and rub them into the mixture using your fingertips or a fork until it looks like fine crumbs. Then stir in 1 cup sugar.
Peel apples, slice in half, core and stem, lay apples on the flat side, slice downward into pieces less than 1/4 inch thick. Then dice the apple pieces into smaller chunks ( about 2 or 3 chunks per slice).
Add the diced apples to the flour mixture. Toss well to evenly coat, work to separate any apples that have stuck together.
In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and vanilla together until they are well combined. Pour the milk mixture over the apple and flour mixture.
Wash your hands next then just toss until combined. Your batter will be slightly lumpy but that is okay …..just don’t over mix.
Pour your batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading into an even layer.
In a small bowl stir the rest of the sugar plus 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Then sprinkle evenly over the cake.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Now cool the cake for about 5 minutes on a wire rack. Remove the ring from the springform pan allowing the cake to cool to your desired temperature.
