Most of us like apples, specially if they are covered in caramel or chocolate, but there are plenty of other ways to enjoy this fruit. For example the Apple Strudel.
The apple strudel is a layered pastry with apples inside. It is associated with the Austrian cuisine because it is considered to be their national dish although their cuisine was influenced by many people: Turkish, Swiss, French, Dutch, Italian and German, to name a few.
Not only the pastry alone is delicious, but we can top it with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, custard or a type of sauce of your preference. It can be accompanied by tea, coffee or if you are feeling in the mood to celebrate, champagne.
Boca Raton housewife and baker, Sabrina Nelson, shared with me -- therefore with you -- her homemade apple strudel recipe.
- 200 gr flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 50 gr of butter
- 1 kg apples
- 50 gr walnuts
- 50 gr golden raisins
- 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons of fine sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, eggs, butter and sugar with a 1/4 cup of water until all the ingredients are mixed together without crumbs.
Let the mix sit for 10 minutes.
Peel and slice apples then add the sugar and cinnamon. Then in a large bowl combine the mix with the freshly sliced apples adding the raisins and the walnuts. Cook for 15 minutes.
Roll the dough over waxing paper and cover with the cooked apples. Roll it and bake for 45 minutes.
Once you take it out of the oven, sprinkle the strudel with superfine sugar and let it sit for 10 minutes before you eat it.
Bon Appetite!
