Dutch-style apple pie is a traditional recipe with its roots in European cuisine, especially in the Netherlands. Although its name refers to Holland, this delight has been adapted and popularized in different Latin American countries, where it goes by various names and local variations. In Mexico and Central America, for example, it is commonly found simply as "apple pie" or "homemade apple cake." In some South American countries, it may be called "apple tart" or "apple cake with cinnamon." This dessert stands out for its layer of fresh apples and its aromatic touch of cinnamon, ingredients that evoke the traditional flavor of family snacks and celebrations.
Its history dates back to ancient preparation methods that used local ingredients and simple techniques to create a comforting and nutritious sweet. Over time, Dutch-style apple pie has become a classic enjoyed at family gatherings and holidays, always preserving that perfect mix between the sweetness of the apples and the spicy touch of cinnamon.
