Appeltaart (Deep Dutch Apple Pie with a Lattice)
One serving has 402 kcal and 4 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of phosphorus (27%), vitamin A (26%), manganese (22%) and selenium (21%). Ready in 125 minutes.

- Preparation: 60 min
- Cooking: 65 min
- Makes: 1 serving (174 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 25 g Flour, self-raising (zelfrijzend bakmeel)
- 12.5 g Light brown sugar (basterdsuiker)
- 0.1 g Salt
- 16.5 g Butter, cold
- 4.5 g Egg (for the dough and to brush)
- 6 g Raisins
- 85 g Tart apples (Goudreinet or Elstar), peeled and cored
- 5 g Sugar
- 0.4 g Cinnamon
- 1.5 g Lemon juice
- 2 g Breadcrumbs, dry (or crushed beschuit)
- 15 g Cream, whipping, to serve (slagroom)
Method
- Mix the self-raising flour, brown sugar and salt, rub in the cold butter until it looks like crumbs, then add most of the egg, keeping a little back to brush the top, and knead briefly into a smooth dough. Wrap it and chill it for 30 minutes.
- Soak the raisins in warm water for 15 minutes and drain them. Peel and core the apples, cut them into small pieces and mix them with the sugar, the cinnamon, the raisins and the lemon juice.
- Heat the oven to 175°C and butter a 24 cm springform tin. Set aside a quarter of the dough for the lattice and press the rest thinly over the base and up the sides of the tin, about 4-5 cm high.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the base, so they take up the apples’ juice, then pile in the apples and press them down.
- Roll out the rest of the dough, cut it into strips about 1.5 cm wide and lay them over the apples in a lattice, pressing the ends onto the edge. Brush the strips with the egg kept back.
- Bake on a low shelf for 60-70 minutes, until the lattice is deep golden and the apples are soft when tested with a skewer.
- Leave it to cool in the tin before you open the ring; it slices better once cool. Serve it with the cream, lightly whipped, as every Dutch café does: appeltaart met slagroom.
