“Strudel” is a dessert that comes from Austria and it is wonderful to eat it warm after skiing in the mountains. But even if I do not live in the mountains I like to eat it for breakfast or in the afternoon.

Apple strudel recipe

Ingredients for the Strudel dough:

• 10 ounces of flour
• 3 ounces of butter
• 2 ounces of sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 pinch of salt

• 5 sliced apples (of different kinds)
• 1 teaspoon of butter
• 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional)
• 2 ounces of pine nuts
• 2 ounces of raisins
• 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs
• 1 egg yolk

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven at 400F.
2. To prepare the Strudel dough mix the ingredients (you can use a mixer) and let the dough rest for half an hour.
3. To prepare the filling, melt the butter with all the ingredients except for the egg yolk.
4. Roll the dough and fill it with the apple mixture. Then gently roll the strudel up and close every holes (if there are any).
5. Brush your strudel with the egg yolk and cook for 1 hour.

Suggestions:

You can roll the dough on some parchment paper so that it makes easier to move the strudel to the oven.
