As Walter already told: appelflappen. Notice that it is a SINGLE word in Dutch! That is true for very many English entities. For almost all English entities that you use two words for, we have a single word, which makes far more sense to me/us. Pityfully, due to the omnipresent English in the Netherlands (tv, internet), the splitting is done a lot even in Dutch language these days by the younger generation. That is a really bad influence.
