Viennese Apfelstrudel is a traditional pastry that originated in Vienna, Austria. The pastry consists of thin layers of crispy phyllo dough that are rolled around a sweet and tangy apple filling, typically made with grated apples, cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice. The filling is spread evenly over the layers of phyllo dough, and then the dough is rolled into a long, cylindrical shape.
Once the strudel is assembled, it is brushed with melted butter and baked until golden brown and crispy. The finished pastry is typically served hot, dusted with powdered sugar and sometimes accompanied by a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. The crispy layers of phyllo dough contrast beautifully with the tender and slightly tart apple filling, making Viennese Apfelstrudel a beloved dessert around the world.
