Austrian Apple Strudel (Apfelstrudel)

One of the national dishes of Austria, Apfelstrudel (Apple Strudel) is a quintessential Austrian dessert featuring flaky pastry filled with apples and raisins and served with vanilla sauce or ice cream. Here is a traditional apple strudel recipe you can make in your own kitchen and imagine you’re in Vienna or the Austrian Alps with every delicious mouthful!

Ingredients:

  •   For the Strudel Dough:
  • 2 cups bread flour (can substitute all-purpose flour)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons neutral tasting oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar
  • 1 egg (optional), makes the dough easier to work with but the pastry will not be as flaky
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted and divided
  • For the Filling:
  • 5 medium apples (tart or sweet-tart) , peeled and cored, cut into small cubes or thinly sliced (e.g. Granny Smith, Pink Lady, McIntosh, Braeburn, etc)
  • 1/3 cup golden raisins (can use regular raisins)
  • 2 tablespoons rum (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional), toasted in a dry skillet until lightly browned
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (apple strudel isn't overly "cinnamony" but you can increase it if you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup fine white breadcrumbs , toasted in a dry skillet until light golden
  • powdered sugar for dusting
