When in Amsterdam, one of my favourite spots to stop is the Café Winkel (Noordermarkt 43) for some homemade appeltaart. Located in the charming and quaint Jordaan area, this is quite possibly the best apple tart in Amsterdam. Raisins and large chunks of cinnamon rolled apples are packed into a perfect crumbly crust and topped with fresh whipped cream. The apple tart goes great with a cappuccino before hitting the Saturday morning market at the Noordermarkt.
While inside the Café Winkel, large apple pies are cut into hefty slices and placed onto waiting plates as orders begin to fly off the counter. Make sure to arrive early in order to avoid the long line-ups. After the Noordermarkt stop by the nearby Lindenmarkt to pick-up a fresh bouquet of dahlias or tulips.
