Appeltaart
Also known as: Dutch apple pie
Dutch lattice apple tart with raisins and cinnamon.

About Appeltaart
Appeltaart is represented here by Koopmans’ basic Dutch apple tart. A wheat-flour pastry surrounds an apple-and-raisin filling, with pastry strips arranged over the top.
Cinnamon and brown caster sugar bring warm sweetness to the apples. Raisins add concentrated fruit flavour; extra sugar in the filling is explicitly optional.
The tart has a golden pastry lattice above the fruit. Custard powder sits beneath the filling, while an egg glaze gives the top its browned finish.
