About this dish
Aalsterse vla (also spelled Aalsterse vlaai) is a traditional pie from Belgium, originating from the city and surrounding region of Aalst in East Flanders, Belgium. It is recognised as part of the local culinary heritage of Flanders. It is made from a bread pudding base containing mastel (a local bread), speculaas or ontbijtkoek, brown sugar and spices, giving it a dark colour and caramelised flavour. Unlike many Belgian pies, Aalsterse vla does not contain fruit.
