We had the most amazing cake in the Netherlands this summer, and my attempts to get the recipe failed, so I was looking for a replacement!<br /><br />I consider myself a good baker, but somehow this cake went very wrong!! :( My issues? I found the crust was too dry. There was too much flour in the crumble mixture. I think next time I will also sauté the apples in a bit of butter rather than the par-boiling. I find the granny smiths I used just lost any flavour in that method. <br /><br />I will persevere!!<br />CarolynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-12989925601508283682012-10-09T20:09:01.095-04:002012-10-09T20:09:01.095-04:00WOW, I just made this cake, it is outstanding. th...WOW, I just made this cake, it is outstanding. thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-80460940636053642382012-05-03T12:29:57.370-04:002012-05-03T12:29:57.370-04:00Hi Eileen,

We found your recipe and I am looking forward to trying it very soon. Thank you for helping to resurrect a memory for him.eileennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-60121484742352152912011-10-10T13:01:04.543-04:002011-10-10T13:01:04.543-04:00Found your recipe, hoping to make an Ikea apple ca...Found your recipe, hoping to make an Ikea apple cake for my grandson's 3rd birthday. We have been in love with this cake for years. I substituted heavy cream for sour cream due to dietary restrictions and found it needed an extra 10 minutes to bake. The cake was a superb, guilty pleasure. I hope my arteries will recover. The Ikea cake is much lighter, not as sweet, less guilt-ridden. I would like to take this recipe and try to modify it to comply more with my eating philosophy and maybe make it closer to the Ikea cake. FYI, Ikea has changed its recipe and the cake in their cafeteria is now different, not better, so sad. And my grandson refused to eat this version on his birthday, sorry Jane!!LindaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03475910221518442346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-40693619550369487512011-10-09T10:23:05.436-04:002011-10-09T10:23:05.436-04:00Made this for our Thanksgiving dinner the other da...Made this for our Thanksgiving dinner the other day. Great instructions! Although the 2/3 stick of butter was a guess... I used 1/4 cup and it seemed to be adequate. I also used 1% plain yogurt for the sour cream. We have a Hyer Apple tree, so used them. And the result was delicious! History will remember this cake! Had holidayed in The Netherlands last year and when we bicycled from town to town, we had to try the area's apple cake. Every town had their own version. So glad to have found yours!Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00704366206284540130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-77542572002409605012011-07-21T21:24:07.580-04:002011-07-21T21:24:07.580-04:00Dear Jennie,

The traditional apple pie/cake recipes I’m familiar with are different from what you’ve made. Either way, in case you need to email me in the future, my email address is: HanaasKitchen [at] live [dot] com. I’ll let you know when I post my traditional Dutch “appeltaart” on my blog. The pie concept still applies: crust, filling, top crust (usually lattice top) or streusel topping. However, the Dutch don’t use a flaky pie crust. Instead they use a pâte sucrée and they bake it in a springform pan, so the ‘pie” has straight edges and they’re much taller than the American apple pie, giving you a greater “filling to crust ratio”. The filling usually consists of apples, sugar, spices, and raisins. After baking, it’s glazed with an apricot jam glaze (if using a lattice top). And it’s served either plain or with sweetened whipped cream.Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-44784770885778985332009-09-22T17:50:59.074-04:002009-09-22T17:50:59.074-04:00yum yum yum! thanks for sharing this recipe!I just...yum yum yum! thanks for sharing this recipe!I just found your blog and I love it, I'll be checking back often :)<br />-Mini BakerMini Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626166956805309704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-82009130568132466462009-09-22T15:52:21.161-04:002009-09-22T15:52:21.161-04:00Gosh, thanks so much, Mary!

I'm so glad you visited,too, as I'm a BIG fan of your beautiful blog. (Hey, if you ever actually try the recipe I'd love to hear how you think it compares to the real thing.)

I realize it must sound a little fanatic or nutty to be talking about a "famous" cake from a cafeteria of all places, but that's really what it is! ;) Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Hi there Avanika-- Thanks very much! As cakes go, I guess it's at the far end of the spectrum towards pies or even cheesecake, but it sure is good. Always appreciate your sweet and encouraging comments!<br />:) <br /><br />Hello Xiaolu! It can be tough to find time to bake sometimes. So tragic, yes? I feel for you! Hope you can squeeze in an "apple something or other" while it's still autumn. Thanks for visiting!<br /><br />Hi Hanaa! Actually, I was thinking of you frequently as I was pondering this recipe and preparing to make it. In fact, I almost sent you the recipe ahead of time to say, "Do you think this is really a Dutch style recipe? Is it authentic??" but I don't have your email address! I'm glad you think it's beautiful--thanks so much. I, too, am pretty egg-phobic in the way you described and I'm relieved to be able to report that the egginess is almost nonexistent. That filling has a more of a slightly cheesecake-like quality than an eggy one, though it's not overly rich and dense like cheesecake filling. <br /><br />:)<br /><br />Warmly,<br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530631702237541328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-11054109187134831672009-09-22T14:54:43.503-04:002009-09-22T14:54:43.503-04:00I'm in love.
