These delicious South African pastries (known both as tarts and cookies) will be more familiar as Hertzoggies to some South African readers. This unique Afrikaner tea time treat is a blend of two traditional Dutch pies: the old-fashioned Dutch apple pie and a fruit-filled vlaaien; the pastries are also flavored with once rare imports from the former Dutch colonies, such as apricot jam, desiccated coconut, and sugar.
