Flaky Apple Strudel: A Perfect German Dessert!
German apple strudel is a classic dessert that is perfect for fall. The flaky pastry crust is filled with a sweet filling of apples, raisins, cinnamon, and sugar.

For a truly authentic German strudel, try using a recipe that calls for German pastry flour. This special type of flour gives the strudel a light and flaky texture that is impossible to resist.

Best Baking Tip; Ingredient Tips!
When it comes to making a perfect flaky Apple Strudel, the key is in the ingredients. Here are some tips to make the perfect apple strudel:
The dough is the most important ingredient in any strudel, and there are a few key tips to keep in mind when making it from scratch. First, be sure to use high-quality flour for the dough. Second, the dough should be very thin, so don’t be afraid to roll it out until it’s almost see-through. Third, the dough should be well-rested before it’s used, so be sure to give it at least 30 minutes to chill in the fridge. Once the dough is ready, it’s time to start assembling the strudel.
Granny smith apples are the best type of apple to use for this recipe, but you can really use any type that you like. Just be sure to slice them thinly so they’ll cook evenly.
In addition to apples, raisins and cinnamon are essential ingredients in apple strudel. The raisins add a touch of sweetness and the cinnamon gives the strudel an unmistakable flavor. When everything is assembled, simply roll up the dough and bake until golden brown.
With these tips in mind, you should be well on your way to making the perfect flaky apple strudel at home!
