How could you forget the smell of baked apples coming from your Oma’s kitchen and that unforgettable Apfelstrudel?
Apple Strudel is a classic dessert throughout Europe and is called Apfelstrudel in Germany.
A strudel is a type of sweet or savory layered pastry with a filling inside. The name Strudel comes from the German word for "whirlpool" because the rolled version, the pastry looks like the inside of a whirlpool.
We hope you enjoy making your own Strudel and the memories that will come with it.
