"Apples are frequently found in Irish sweets, and when brambles (blackberries) are in-season, you'll often find the two in crumbles, crisps, and cakes, like this one, which is served with a creamy Bushmills-laced custard sauce. Prepare the custard a few hours before baking the cake in order for it to chill thoroughly...."
