For Streusel Topping:

  • 6 oz all-purpose flour
  • 2 oz rolled oats
  • 4 oz sugar
  • salt to taste
  • 5-6 tbsp butter

For Irish Apple Cake:

  • 4 oz butter at room temperature
  • 4 oz sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2-3 large eggs
  • 6 ¼ oz all-purpose flour
  • 1-2 tsp baking powder
  • 2-1 tsp cinnamon
  • tsp salt
  • 3 tsp milk
  • 4-5 apples granny smith, peeled and sliced thin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F, then butter and line a 9-inch baking pan. Set them aside. 

For Streusel Topping:

  • In the mixing dish, combine the oats, salt, and sugar.
  • Then rub in the cold butter until it's completely integrated and the texture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  • Set aside in the refrigerator while you finish making the cake.

For Irish Apple Cake:

  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • After that, beat in the vanilla extract, followed by the eggs one at a time.
  • Combine the baking powder, flour, salt, and cinnamon in a separate mixing bowl.
  • Along with the milk, fold the dry ingredients into the wet components.
  • Once the butter has formed, pour it into the prepared pan and top with the sliced apples, ensuring that they are evenly distributed.
  • Spread the streusel topping evenly over the apples.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 75 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy on top.
  • Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly before removing the cake from the tin.
  • Dust the cake with powdered sugar when ready to serve, slice, and enjoy!
  • Keep the cake at room temperature for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
