Apfelstrudel

Austria’s beloved apple strudel — paper-thin pastry dough stretched by hand and filled with spiced apples, raisins, cinnamon, and breadcrumbs, then rolled and baked until crisp and golden. Served warm with vanilla sauce (Vanillesauce) or whipped cream, it is the quintessential Austrian dessert, found in every coffeehouse and bakery. The Café Central and Café Sacher in Vienna serve exceptional versions.
