Apfelstrudel is a delicious Austrian dessert that consists of a thin pastry filled with spiced apple filling. Here's a traditional recipe for making Apfelstrudel
Ingredients:
1-2-3 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
2-1/2 cup breadcrumbs
3-1/2 cup granulated sugar
4-1/2 cup raisins (optional)
5-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6-1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
7-1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8-1/2 cup melted butter
9-8-10 sheets of filo pastry or strudel dough
10-Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
*Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
*Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
*In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, breadcrumbs, granulated sugar, raisins (if using), cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
*Take a sheet of filo pastry or strudel dough and place it on a clean, dry surface. Brush the entire sheet with melted butter.
*Repeat the process, layering the sheets of pastry and brushing each layer with melted butter until you have 8-10 layers.
*Place the apple filling along one edge of the layered pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
*Carefully roll the pastry over the filling, tucking in the sides as you go, to create a log- shaped strudel.
*Transfer the strudel to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
*Brush the top of the strudel with melted butter to give it a golden-brown color.
*Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the strudel is golden and crispy.
*Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
*Dust the strudel with powdered sugar before serving.
*Slice the Apfelstrudel and serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy your homemade Apfelstrudel! It's a classic Austrian dessert that's perfect for any occasion.
