I have decided to make an Apfelstrudel today Sunday since we were craving for it since last week. You must have heard about it or you may have tasted one already. It is a famous dessert here in Austria and almost all coffee shops or corner cafes particularly in Vienna serve this. Tourists from all over the world swore never to leave the city without them tasting this in a Viennese cafe. It is already famous long before Arnold Schwarzenegger had the idea to serve this in his restaurant in California.
In this recipe, I have replaced the raisins with dried cranberries since the latter is too sweet for my tooth. The original recipe of Oma Lisi ( hubby´s grandma) calls for almonds, but since I do not have them in my pantry, I used walnuts instead. The lemon zest/rind gives a good aroma for the dough. I hope you would try this someday, I can tell you now that it is scrumptious.
Apfelstrudel
Ingredients:
250 flour
100 grams of sugar
40 gram melted margarine or butter
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp baking soda
1 tbsp lemon zest (organic)
¼ liter buttermilk
salt
1 egg
6 tbsp oil
1 kg Apples, (Golden delicious, Gala, Boskop type)
200 g fresh or frozen Blueberries
½ cup walnuts
½ cup dried cranberries
Confectioner's sugar to sprinkle top of strudel
extra margarine to baste the dough during cooking
Preheat the oven at 180°C.
Cooking the Apple Fillings:
Peel the apples and remove the seeds, slice into small pieces, place in a casserole and add the sugar, lemon peel and about 2 tablespoons water. Bring to boil and reduce heat to low. Always stir the pieces and cook for about 10 minutes or until the apples are slightly soft. Drain in a colander and let the liquid drip. Add the nutmeg, walnuts, and cranberries, Mix properly and set aside.
Procedures:
1... Mix the flour, salt, water , a bit of lemon zest and margarine into a dough. Knead until it is soft and smooth.
2... Brush with warm water and leave to rest in a preheated casserole, cover for 30 minutes.
3... Roll out the dough on a floured silicone sheet or clean cloth sprinkled with flour, making the dough flat and thin using a rolling pin. Spread breadcrumbs all throughout the flattened dough.
4... Add the prepared apple to the dough. Fold the edges over by 2 cm, rolling the longer side slowly to the other edge ( as you would jelly roll).
5... Brush with liquid margarine and bake on the middle oven rack. Bake for about 50-60 minutes. During the baking, brush 1-2 times with liquid margarine. When done, take out from oven and put on a cake platter and sprinkle with confectioner´s sugar.
6... Serve Strudel warm as dessert or cold with coffee or tea.

I can eat all these 🤤🤤🤤 very mouthwatering photos! 😍 can i be your kapitbahay? 😄
Yes, why not. If I were your neighbor, you will be my taster or tester.. And you will grow big by my cooking.. Lololol!
This is a toothsome dessert best serve while it's still hot and you did it great!, I prefer a puff pastry as a dough and a caramelized apple with cinnamon powder and the result for me is so nummy...
Thanks for sharing, you make us drool a ton for that scrummy treat☺️
Indeed, you are right, very good when served hot with coffee.. Hahaha
Yummy treat just get easy with the sugar lol.
I use sugarsubstitute Stevia powder..thank you.
Looks delicious but you forgot to mention how much butter (margarine) nor how many or what kind of apples🤷♀️
Awtsch! Indeed, I have forgotten to write those as I was translating it from German to English last night ,,sorry for the miss-out. I have corrected the ingredients , apples can be any variety, I do not use the Granny Smith type as it is too costly as fillings. As for the butter/margarine, it should be melted before adding to the flour. I will have to check if I still missed out something. Thanks.
No problem! Yes, translating can make us miss things lol😅 I never use grannies either. Goldens are great!😋 Now just need the oven and this will be first on my list🤩 Cheers🙏💞
