Recipes for Dutch apple pie go back to the [[Middle Ages]]. An early Dutch language [[cookbook]] from 1514, {{Lang|nl|Een notabel boecxken van cokeryen}} ("A notable little cookery book"), [[Letterpress printing|letterpress printed]] in [[Brussels]] by [[Thomas van der Noot]], who may also have been the author,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kookhistorie.nl/NBC/index_nbc.htm |title=Home Notabel Boecxken van Cokeryen door Thomas vander Noot (1514) |publisher=Kookhistorie.nl |date=2002-08-13 |access-date=2013-11-05}}</ref> documents a recipe for {{Lang|nl|Appeltaerten}} (modern Dutch [[wikt:appeltaart|''Appeltaarten'']] 'apple pies'). This early recipe was simple, requiring only a standard pie crust, slices of especially soft apples with their skin and seeds removed, and {{Lang|nl|den selven deeghe daer die taerte af ghemaect es}} (more of the same dough) on top. It was then baked in a typical [[Dutch oven]]. Once baked, the top crust (except at the edges) would be cut out from the middle, after which the apple slices were potentially put through a [[sieve]] before the pie was stirred with a wooden spoon. At this point the book recommends adding several [[spice]]s to the pie, namely: [[cardamom]], [[ginger]], [[cinnamon]], [[nutmeg]], [[clove]], [[Mace (spice)|mace]] and [[powdered sugar]]. Finally, after mixing the ingredients into the pie with [[cream]], it is once again put into the oven to dry.<ref>[http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_not001nota01_01/_not001nota01_01_0003.php Een notabel boecxken van cokeryen - 123 Appeltaerten.], ''[http://dbnl.org dbnl.org]''</ref>

Traditional [[Dutch cuisine|Dutch]] apple pie comes in two varieties, a crumb ({{Lang|nl|appelkruimeltaart}}) and a lattice ({{Lang|nl|appeltaart}}) style pie. Both recipes are distinct in that they typically call for flavourings of [[cinnamon]] and [[lemon juice]] to be added and differ in texture, not taste.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.recipestap.com/more-apple-cakes-hollandse-appeltaart-aka-dutch-apple-tart |title=Recipe: More apple cakes: Hollandse appeltaart aka Dutch Apple Tart |publisher=Recipes Tap |access-date=2013-11-05 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131012012659/http://www.recipestap.com/more-apple-cakes-hollandse-appeltaart-aka-dutch-apple-tart |archive-date=12 October 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.stemilt.com/stem-blog/dutch-apple-pie/|title=Dutch Apple Pie {{!}} Stemilt|date=2016-10-17|newspaper=Stemilt|language=en-US|access-date=2016-11-15}}</ref> Dutch apple pies may include ingredients such as full-cream butter, raisins and [[almond paste]], in addition to ingredients such as apples and sugar, which they have in common with other recipes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kookhistorie.nl/images/vk-scan/vk-c3r.jpg |title=page 21 "De verstandige kock of sorghvuldige huyshoudster (anno 1669)"|access-date=2013-11-05}}</ref>

The basis of Dutch apple pie is a crust on the bottom and around the edges. This crust is then filled with pieces or slices of apple, usually a crisp and mildly tart variety such as Goudreinet or [[Elstar]]. Cinnamon and [[sugar]] are generally mixed in with the apple filling. Atop the filling, strands of [[dough]] cover the pie in a [[Lattice (pastry)|lattice]] holding the filling in place but keeping it visible or cover the pie with crumbs. It can be eaten warm or cold, sometimes with a dash of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. In the US, "Dutch apple pie" refers specifically to the apple pie style with a crumb, [[streusel]], topping.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.stemilt.com/stem-blog/dutch-apple-pie/|title=Dutch Apple Pie {{!}} Stemilt|date=2016-10-17|newspaper=Stemilt|language=en-US|access-date=2016-10-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2010/09/15/dutch-apple-pie/ |title=Dutch Apple Pie |publisher=Brown Eyed Baker|access-date=2013-11-05}}</ref>
