From County Cavan chef Neven Maguire's book "The Nation's Favourite Food," we bring you the quintessential Irish dessert. The marriage of sweet, tangy apples in a buttery crust with a creamy custard creates a dessert that is both comforting and indulgent. The combination of flavors, textures, and visual appeal makes apple tart and custard a timeless and perfect dessert for many people.
