I got some free apples by accident from Walmart curbside so I decided I would make this lovely Irish apple cake! Obviously apples have natural sugars but I used Splenda magic baker to make it without any added sugars for a healthier St. Patrick’s Day dessert option!

Side note: I love this Glass Bowls Set from Amazon because after you add lemon juice to your sliced apples to keep them from oxidizing, you can use just pop the airtight lid on and off to go! Less dishes!

This is like an apple pie but way better in my opinion! A layer of cake, some delicious cooked apples and a crispy brown streusel on top!

Traditionally you would make a custard sauce to pour over the Irish apple cake but I’m going for easy here, so I drizzled this delicious sugar free caramel sauce on top and it was everything I wanted it to be!

It’s delicious on its own, almost like a light breakfast vibe but that caramel sauce makes it a lovely dessert treat for an elevated adult St. Patrick’s day treat!

I also used the Splenda Magic Baker line for my zero sugar added replacements. They work great for baking with everything I’ve tried thus far, even cheesecake!

St. Patrick’s Day Decor is all from the Dollar Tree!

I’ve also been digging on this Digital Hand Mixer from Amazon for little things like this so I don’t have to pull out the stand mixer. She’s heavy!

The Gold Measuring Cup Set from Amazon has been giving life back to my baking too. It makes me feel modern and hip with 2024.

Especially the gold with the St. Patrick’s Day food theme. It’s vibes.

A cookie scooper is super helpful for the cake part because it is a thiccc batter so that it can withhold the weight of the apples.

I got mine from Amazon, it was part of a scooper set.

Gold Flatware Set is also from Amazon! Glamorous!
