About Apfelstrudel
Apfelstrudel is a Viennese apple strudel. This Sacher cookbook version uses a thin, stretched pastry wrapped around apples, with breadcrumbs included in the filling.
Cinnamon, vanilla sugar and rum-soaked raisins complement the apples, while lemon juice adds brightness. Butter gives the pastry and crumbs their richness.
The pastry is stretched almost transparent around the fruit. The finished strudel is dusted with icing sugar and may be served warm or cold.
