Appeltaart - Holland

This Dutch version of apple pie can be found in pretty much all bars and cake shops of Amsterdam, and for good reason. It's a sweet deep-dish dream, composed of a classic pie crust loaded with apples, a Dutch spice mix called speculaaskruiden and citrus flavors, and often spruced up with raisins or chopped nuts. Then it gets sprinkled with excess pie crust dough before baking. It's best served at room temperature, accompanied by a generous dollop of whipped cream.
