Apfelstrudel offers a delightful combination of sweet and tart apple filling encased in flaky, buttery pastry. Warm spices and often a hint of citrus enhance the overall flavor profile.
The primary flavor is derived from the apples themselves, which are typically a mix of varieties to achieve a balance of sweetness and tartness. Spices like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg add warmth and depth. Raisins, often soaked in rum, contribute sweetness and a chewy texture. The buttery, flaky pastry provides a rich counterpoint to the fruit filling. Lemon zest or juice brightens the flavors and prevents the apples from becoming overly sweet. Sometimes breadcrumbs toasted in butter and sugar are added to absorb excess moisture and add a caramelized flavor.

Dough Perfection
The key to a great strudel is paper-thin dough. If making it from scratch, allow the dough to rest properly to develop gluten and stretch easily. Store-bought phyllo dough can be used as a convenient alternative but ensure to layer it properly with melted butter.
Apple Selection
Use a mix of apple varieties for optimal flavor and texture. Tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn pair well with sweeter varieties like Honeycrisp or Gala. The blend provides a balanced flavor profile.
Moisture Control
Prevent a soggy strudel by using breadcrumbs to absorb excess moisture from the apples. Toasting the breadcrumbs in butter and sugar adds flavor and prevents them from becoming mushy.
Rolling Technique
When rolling the strudel, ensure the filling is evenly distributed and the dough is tightly sealed to prevent bursting during baking. Brush the strudel with melted butter before baking for a golden-brown crust.
