Greetings from Vienna! We always make the apple strudel according to the original recipe, but I understand you well, because it really takes a lot of time. Thank you for the recipe and I'm glad to hear that you like our pastries and coffee.

My mother, a very German woman and voracious baker, would have loved your recipe!

I remember my mom doing that thin, stretchy dough for strudel or in ukrainian vertuta.And she never added raisins to it. But a lot of cinnamon and sugar. End result was amazing!

Omg this is really such an easy recipe. It’s basically just assembling but the result was pure delish. Had some extra left over puff pastry and made one extra small individual parcel and wolved it down with ice cream and I was in heaven. Thank you!

This was my first time trying one of your recipes. I decided to do your puff pastry recipe for this as well (instead of the ready-made kind). I accidentally doubled the sugar for the puff pastry, and I used American butter instead of the recommended European butter (because that was what I had on hand) but this still turned out fantastic! For this Apple strudel recipe I took your advice from the video and added some more seasonings to my tastes (I did the 1 tsp cinnamon but also added 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice) and wow oh wow! Sooo good! This was my first time ever making a recipe of yours (I usually only search on Google by highest rated with at least 50 reviews) but I’m so glad I came across your YouTube video and decided to give this a try. It was even more tasty than apple pie (which is what I originally going to make). Thanks so much! Oh, and I subbed panko breadcrumbs for traditional breadcrumbs (I thought they’d add more crunch and be better but after cooking I didn’t even taste or feel them— perhaps I’ll do more next time?). Lastly, I found I needed 5 to 10 more minutes of cook time (perhaps it’s due to the altitude— I’m at ~4, 500 ft elevation).
In short, this recipe is a keeper for sure! I’m making this next time instead of apple pie!

The way you describe each ingredient and its role in the dish is so informative. You're definitely a professional cook👌🤩😋

Where I live in Utah we have a huge Slovenian community, so I get apple strudel once in a while. I had it not long ago made with Pink Lady apples. They are my favorite apple. But to have strudel made with them was so good. Another thing we get a lot of here is potica, and Hungarian cookies. If you have never tried them look into them, you will love them as well as your boys and husband will probably love them too. Thanks for all your wonderful baking and food videos. I watch them all.

Also can I just say that your video quality is amazing!! I feel like I’m watching you on the food network!!🥰🥰🥰

Oh my Lord, thank you for this tutorial!! I've been wanting to make apple strudel for so long but have always been afraid of how! You have made my day!!!

[nweejjk]

Great with vanilla ice cream. Add crushed wallnuts. I love strudel but hey, did this one with with crushed nuts mixed with the breadcrumbs, tip with towel John. I use normal breadcrumbs with brown sugar and crushed nuts, extra cinnamon...never added melted butter, will try...granny best apple but as you, my girl does not like raisins, lol

[sharonreznick]

Yum, my husband loves apple strudel. We tried it every where we could in Germany and Vienna. Looks easy, can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing!

[teddygingerbear]

Great kitchen demo John! I make similar type strudel but always thought I was cheating using store bought puff pastry. Glad as a pro-baker, you went that route too! Similarly, for years I made Thanksgiving Mincemeat pie like my Pennsylvania German grandmother using Nonesuch Mincemeat from a jar 😜 and one year I eagerly tuned into Martha Stewart making her traditional mincemeat pie hoping to crack the code to a great original recipe. Well, guess what? She also used Nonesuch mincemeat from a jar but added her touch with a chopped Annie Green Smith apple. You’d think I’d stop second guessing myself!

[kendicoutant]

Can't wait to try this! At my now DIL's bridal shower, we had apple strudel from a local German bakery. The theme was Oktoberfest. My son and DIL are in Germany now for their honeymoon--and Oktoberfest. I'll make this for them when they get home.🍎🍏

I love apple recipes in the fall!! BTW, When beating eggs, singing "The Can Can" gives a great rhythm to follow.

[revivalworkshop]

Making my mouth water, gonna give it a try. 👍🙂

The puff pastry dough is a reasonable hack. My half-Austrian paternal grandmother used to make her strudel using phyllo dough and lots of butter. She didn't use raisins (almost nobody in our family could stand them), and instead of sugar, she drizzled defrosted frozen concentrate apple juice to sweeten it and add an extra punch of apple flavor.

She also used bread crumbs (regular plain ones, not panic) in hers.

I just made this recipe, highly recommended. Quick, easy and soo yumm
