Celtic Apple Crumble With Irish Whiskey Cream Sauce

“Apples have always played an important part in Irish folklore, tradition and diet, so it’s no surprise to find apple desserts in great supply and variety," says Margaret Johnson, Irish food expert and cookbook author. "This apple crumble, sometimes called ‘apple crunch’ when the apples are first cooked to soften them, is flavored with a respectable dose of Irish whiskey and topped with a buttery oatmeal crumble.  Serve it with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or Irish Whiskey Cream Sauce (recipe follows)."Johnson uses Kerrygold Irish butter to make this crumble.  The butter, churned from the milk of grass-fed cows that graze in Ireland’s lush pastures, has a creamy richness and a remarkably golden color from the beta-carotene in the grass.  It is the preferred butter of many seasoned bakers.
