📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Dutch appeltaart is made by lining a deep pan with buttery dough, packing it with apples mixed with cinnamon and raisins, and topping it with a lattice before baking. Taller than American apple pie, it's full of chunky apples. Served with whipped cream, it's essential at cafés and birthdays.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a long-established Amsterdam café, a thick slice of appeltaart is topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream and enjoyed with coffee.
