Authentic Austrian Apple Strudel (Apfelstrudel)

Authentic Apple Strudel (Apfelstrudel)

We create and bake our Apfelstrudel according to grandmas recipe, found in my grandmothers kitchen, a handwritten tiny little book, scribbles all over the place, written in old german and not easy to read. I guess she always perfected the recipe with her little side notes.
We are sure, if you have tried one slice of this “soul treat” you almost can’t resist getting a second one, this time with whipping cream and strawberries on top of it!

Today, I want to share with you this delightful Authentic Apple Strudel, or as the Germans call it, “Apfelstrudel.” Trust me, this sweet treat will transport your taste buds straight to the cozy cafes of Germany.

To make this heavenly dessert, you’ll need some basic ingredients like crisp apples, warm cinnamon, and flaky pastry dough. Start by peeling and slicing the apples, then toss them with sugar and cinnamon for that irresistible flavor. Next, assemble the strudel by carefully rolling the apple filling into the pastry dough, creating a beautiful spiral of deliciousness.

But here’s the secret to achieving the perfect Apfelstrudel: brush the top with melted butter before baking. This creates a golden, crispy crust that will make your mouth water in anticipation. Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool slightly, then dust it with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

So, the next time you’re craving something comforting and sweet, give this Authentic Austrian Apple Strudel a try. It’s guaranteed to impress your friends and family, and maybe even transport you to the charming streets of Austria. Guten Appetit!
