Appeltaat

Appeltaat is a traditional version of an apple pie, originating from Rhineland. The pie is usually made with a combination of flour, butter, eggs, apples, sugar, sour cream, lemon zest, dry white wine, vanilla extract, raisins, almonds, and cinnamon. The dough is made with a mixture of butter, flour, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and lemon zest. The apples are thinly sliced and simmered with vanilla, white wine, and sugar until they become soft. The dough is placed into a pie pan, topped with the apples, raisins, and chopped blanched almonds. The remaining dough is rolled on top, pricked, and the pie is baked until golden brown. Once baked and warm, appeltaat is sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.
