Steps:
- Combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, and raisins in a medium saucepan. Add 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and let cook for about 5 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to high, and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour filling into a baking dish and stir in the walnuts; let cool to room temperature.
- In a small saute pan, melt 5 tablespoons butter and add breadcrumbs. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until toasted and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool. Wipe pan clean and melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter; set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack positioned in the middle of the oven. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a double thickness of parchment paper.
- Lay a large, clean cloth or sheet (at least 3 feet long and wide) on a work surface, and sprinkle well with flour. Remove strudel dough from bowl without folding it over on itself and set it in the center of your work surface. Use the palms of your hands to flatten the dough. Dust dough lightly with flour and roll it in all directions, as well as rolling over the edges, making it as thin as possible. Lightly brush entire surface with oil.
- Slide both hands, with slightly curved palms facing down, under dough toward the center. Holding this position, lift the dough off the cloth with your knuckles, and begin stretching from the center out to the edges until it is too large to stretch easily with your hands. Carefully set dough back on cloth, spreading it to smooth out any wrinkles or folds. Starting in the center again, continue to stretch out the dough in all directions, maintaining a rectangular shape, until the dough is almost translucent everywhere except the edges, which should be thicker. If the dough tears while stretching; you will be able to patch any holes with some of the excess stretched dough.
- Once dough is stretched, let dry for 10 minutes.
- Using a pizza wheel or kitchen scissors, trim all the thick edges until the dough is approximately 24-by-30-inches. With the 24-inch edge facing you, scatter the breadcrumbs on a 12-by-4-inch rectangle of dough centered about 3 inches in from the 24 inch side so the 16 inch side of filling is parallel to the 24 inch side of dough. Scatter the cooled filling on the same space.
- Use a brush to drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons of cooled butter all over the unfilled portions of the dough, reserving a little to brush the strudel with once it has been rolled.
- Roll strudel by folding 3 inches of dough from the 24-inch side of dough over the filling, then fold the unfilled dough in from each side. Lift the cloth and roll the strudel, stopping to fold the edges inward as you roll. Transfer to prepared pan, seam side down, positioning diagonally if necessary.
- Brush the top of the strudel with remaining butter, and snip vent holes in with sharp scissors.
- Place strudel in oven. Bake, rotating pan halfway though, until deep golden brown and crisp, about 30 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut on the diagonal into slices. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar and serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream.

Apple Strudel Recipes - A Traditional Austrian Dessert
If you have ever been to Austria, you may have had the chance to indulge in one of their most beloved desserts: apple strudel. Made with thin layers of flaky pastry dough and filled with a sweet and tangy mixture of apples, raisins, and cinnamon, apple strudel is a staple of Austrian cuisine that has gained worldwide popularity.
The Origin of Apple Strudel
Although apple strudel is commonly associated with Austria, its origins can be traced back to the Ottoman Empire. The pastry dough used for strudel, known as filo or phyllo dough, was introduced to the region by Turkish bakers in the 16th century. The word "strudel" itself comes from the German word "strudelteig," which means "swirled dough."
Apple strudel became a popular dessert in Austria during the 18th and 19th centuries, and variations of it can be found in other European countries such as Hungary, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. It is traditionally served warm, dusted with powdered sugar, and accompanied by a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
The Ingredients of Apple Strudel
While there are many variations of apple strudel, the basic ingredients usually include:
- Filo or phyllo dough - a paper-thin pastry made of flour, water, and oil
- Apples - tart varieties such as Granny Smith are commonly used
- Raisins - for sweetness and texture
- Sugar - to enhance the sweetness of the apples
- Cinnamon - adds warmth and complexity to the flavor
- Lemon juice - to balance the sweetness and add acidity
- Breadcrumbs - sprinkled on top of the filling to absorb any excess moisture
- Butter - used to brush the pastry and add richness
The Preparation of Apple Strudel
While some people may prefer to make their own filo or phyllo dough from scratch, it is a time-consuming and laborious process that requires a lot of skill and patience. Therefore, most home cooks opt for store-bought filo dough, which is readily available in most supermarkets.
To make apple strudel, the following steps are usually involved:
- Prepare the filling - this involves peeling, coring, and slicing apples, and combining them with raisins, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and breadcrumbs. The filling should be juicy but not too runny, or it may soak through the pastry and become soggy.
- Prepare the pastry - filo or phyllo dough is extremely delicate and can dry out quickly, so it is important to keep it covered with a damp towel or plastic wrap while working. The dough is usually spread out onto a clean, flat surface and brushed with melted butter or oil, layer by layer, until it becomes thin and translucent. Some recipes may call for a dusting of breadcrumbs or nuts between the layers for extra texture.
- Add the filling - the filling is spooned onto the pastry, leaving a border of about 2 inches on all sides. The edges of the pastry are then folded over the filling, and the strudel is rolled up into a long, cylindrical shape, using the towel or plastic wrap to help lift and guide the dough. The ends are tucked under and the strudel is placed, seam-side down, onto a greased baking sheet.
- Bake the strudel - the strudel is brushed with more melted butter or egg wash to give it a glossy finish, and dusted with sugar. It is then baked in a preheated oven at 375°F for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. The strudel should be allowed to cool for a few minutes before serving, to prevent the filling from oozing out.
