This sticky apple cake is served with creme normande. It’s a reliable cake that can be served as a sweet treat with coffee or brought to the dinner table in full glory with a maple caramel drizzle. The cake can be made in advance and keeps well for at least 3-5 days wrapped tightly in cling film.

Apple crumble is one of my most favourite desserts of all time, I remember making it growing up and to this day still swoon at the smell of it coming out of the oven.  This Irish apple crumble cake is nice little twist on the classic with a moist apple cake interior and a light crumbly topping.  That classic combination of apple and blackberries could also be used here.
