Dutch pie

On Saturday we went over for dinner to Kevin's house and since we don't have an oven, I saw my opportunity to bake a Dutch apple pie called appeltaart.

It turned out delicious and I served it with vanille ice cream.

Here is the recipe if you would like to make it yourself.

For the dough:
- 300 gr of flower
- 175 gr of (salted) butter (softened)
- 80 gr of sugar
- 2 egs
- (cinnamon)

Filling:
- 1 kg of apples (preferably sour apples)
- 50 gr of sugar
- cinnamon
- almonds and raisins are optional

Mix all the ingredients for the dough together. If the dough is still too sticky, add more flower until it doesn't stick to your hands anymore.
Use a round baking tin and butter it. Put 3/4 of the dough in the tin. Make sure you put dough on the sides as well about 1 cm high. This will help to keep the filling inside the pie.

Cut the apples in (large) dices, mix the sugar and the cinnamon with it and if you like almonds and/or raisins you can add those as well. Fill the tin with the apples. Roll out the 1/4 of the dough you had saved and cut long stripes which you then lay over the filling (see picture). Brush egg wash on the dough stripes to get a nice golden brown look.

Bake it in the oven for about 60 minutes.

Enjoy!
