The basis of Dutch apple pie is a crust on the bottom and around the edges. This is then filled with pieces or slices of apple, preferably Goudreinet or Elstar . Cinnamon and sugar are generally mixed in with the apple filling. Sometimes, the filling can be sprinkled with liqueur to give it a stronger taste. Atop the filling, strands of dough cover the top of the pie in such a way that the filling is held in place, but still visible.
