Apple Strudel is a true classic Hungarian dessert, with a thin, crispy crust that perfectly complements the harmonious blend of fresh apples and cinnamon inside. Apple strudel is one of the most popular sweets in Hungarian households, perfect for any occasion, whether it's a Sunday lunch or an afternoon coffee cake.
Making apple strudel dough is an art in itself, and while the basic recipe is simple, stretching the dough thin and preparing the apples perfectly is a real challenge. Strudels can be varied in many ways, but the apple version is always the most popular. The fragrant cake is always fresh and a perfect choice with a cup of coffee or tea.
Peel, core, and grate the apples. Sprinkle with lemon juice, then mix with sugar and cinnamon.
Lay out the strudel dough sheets and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs, then evenly spread the apple filling.
Carefully roll up the strudel dough sheets and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the top of the strudel with melted butter and bake at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.
Let cool before serving, then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
