Potato-Apple Cake

A favorite autumn dish, Potato-Apple Cake dates back at least to the 18th century. It is made by encasing sweetened apples in a rich potato pastry, and it’s a warm dessert for a typically cold, blustery night in Ireland in October or November. In fact, the dense, filling texture means that Potato-Apple Cake makes an excellent harvest supper on its own, served with mugs of mulled cider and glasses of milk.
