Appeltaart · Amsterdam
Appeltaart is Amsterdam's deep-dish apple pie: crumbly butter crust around thick-sliced apples spiced with cinnamon, sometimes raisins or sultanas, served warm with a heap of whipped cream.
Dutch apple pie traces back to medieval recipes recorded in 1514, but the modern Amsterdam appeltaart was codified at Winkel 43 on Noordermarkt in the late 20th century: a deep pan, a thick crumb base, a foam of whipped cream alongside. Cafe Papeneiland on the Jordaan canal corner serves the next-best version, the building going back to 1642. The pie is eaten as both dessert and afternoon snack.
