Who With? Me

Food Style? Dutch

It’s a very quiet Sunday morning in Amsterdam. The streets are practically deserted as all the partygoers from the previous night are probably all hungover and sleeping. There’s a few people walking around, as well as the super keen who are doing their morning exercises on this fine day. Winkel is full of the coffee crowd, and they’re popular because of their apple pie which I would love to try today.

Dessert


Appeltaart: Dutch apple pie
If Chicago is the king of deep dish pizza, then the Netherlands have the deep dish crown for apple pie. This dessert has been eaten for centuries; it's appeared in a Dutch cookbook from 1514 and it also appears in a painting from 1626. The crust isn't a regular pastry base like what you'd find on an American fruit pie, it's more crumbly and biscuit-like. Almost every restaurant or bakery in Amsterdam will have their own take on this dessert. I've seen some places that will do a crumble topping instead of a crust topping, but here at Winkel, we have a double crust with a lot of cream. The apple pie is served room temperature, the fruit itself is soft and full of cinnamon. It’s not too sweet at all - in fact the cream is probably the sweetest element on the plate - and I think it’s perfect.
