Apple strudel is a traditional Austrian pastry made with thin, flaky dough filled with a sweet mixture of sliced apples, cinnamon, sugar, and often raisins or walnuts. The dough is rolled out thinly and wrapped around the filling, then baked until golden brown and crispy. The result is a delicious contrast of textures, with a crunchy exterior and a soft, spiced apple interior. Typically served warm, apple strudel is often dusted with powdered sugar and can be accompanied by whipped cream, vanilla sauce, or ice cream. It’s a comforting, popular dessert, especially in Central European countries like Austria and Germany.
