Traditional Irish Galway Apple Cake

Some foods make you curious before you've even taken the first bite.

This traditional Irish Galway Apple Cake is one of them—a rustic apple cake inspired by the baking traditions of Ireland and made by Two and a Half Irishmen Traditional Irish Baking.

It's the kind of thing we imagine slicing on a cold afternoon when the coffee is already on, or setting out after supper when nobody needs an elaborate dessert but everybody would happily take a little piece of apple cake.

Serve it simply with coffee or tea. Warm it and add a little cream or ice cream. Put it on the table when friends come over. Or keep it around for those first chilly evenings when staying home suddenly sounds better than going anywhere.

We found this one because we're always looking for foods with a little more behind them—something tied to a place, a tradition, or a way of gathering around the table.
