Archive story

Irish apple cakes were practical farmhouse sweets, built from orchard fruit and everyday pantry ingredients. In Irish-American kitchens, the cake fits easily into fall baking and holiday tables: simple enough for a weeknight, sturdy enough for a lunchbox, and good with tea, coffee, or custard. This archive version leans toward a square American coffee-cake format while keeping the apple-forward spirit.
