Food Worth Flying For: The Best Apple Cake in All of Amsterdam
That croissant in Paris. The char kway teow in Singapore. That cup of hot chocolate in Perugia. This is Food Worth Flying For. In this new series, Jaunted's contributors share the foods they'd gladly fly around the world for (and probably already have).
Don't hate, but we kinda used to have a thing for the cold apple cake with vanilla sauce found in every IKEA cafeteria, no matter the country. It's not a very original preference, especially considering we live in the land of all-American apple pie. Then we went to Amsterdam and everything changed.
Dutch Klassieke Appeltaart is something different; it's a deep-dish slice piled high with more cooked crisp apple slices and less sugary apple glop, encased in a generous crust of brown crumbliness yumminess.
Amsterdam is famous for its Appeltaart (reimagined in US cuisine as Dutch Apple Pie), and the small restaurant Winkel 43 renowned for its own recipe.
Despite its convenient location in the Jordaan district, a quick walk to both the Anne Frank House and Amsterdam Tulip Museum, and its mention in many "must-eat" lists, Winkel 43 is a delightful local find. In fact, we wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for Amsterdam resident/international superstar DJ/frequent flyer extraordinaire/Jaunted contributor Max Graham, who pressured us into a slice, hot and fresh from he oven, with a heaping dollop of homemade whip cream.
