Appel (literally "apple") is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Gelderland.[2] It is located in the municipality Nijkerk, about 6 km southeast of the city, on the border with the municipality of Barneveld.[3]

It was first mentioned in 1146 as Appele. The etymology is unclear and may not be related to apples.[4] The postal authorities have placed it under Nijkerk.[5] In 1840, it was home to 318 people.[6] The grist mill De Hoop was constructed in 1888 and was restored in 2004.[7] In 2007, remains of a wooden castle were found near Appel which dated from around 1100. The hamlet consists of about 60 houses.[6]
