A reader of this blog<\/strong>, Careena, asked me on my Facebook page<\/a>:<\/strong> “How about strudel<\/strong> with phyllo dough?”.<\/p>\n

And how could I say no to an interesting recipe request?<\/em> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Recipe-Apple<\/a><\/p>\n

The apple strudel is a traditional pastry from Vienna<\/strong>,\u00a0although it probably comes from the Ottoman Empire as a variation on baklava<\/strong>. The strudel is currently popular in all former domains of the Austro-Hungarian empire<\/strong>,\u00a0which\u00a0included the northern part of Italy: that’s how I knew the apfelstrudel before, but I had never made it.<\/p>\n

\"Recipe-Apple<\/a><\/p>\n

A big difficulty<\/strong> of this recipe is making the phyllo dough<\/strong>, which must be rolled out to a ridiculous level of thinness<\/strong>. I’ve seen people stretching a very small piece of dough to cover completely a big kitchen table. That was too much for me<\/strong>, so I decided to buy phyllo dough (I actually make every thing from scratch\u00a0in pastry, please allow me to buy just this!). \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Once you buy the phyllo dough at the supermarket<\/strong>, making a strudel becomes super easy<\/strong>: let the apples macerate with sugar<\/strong>, add the raisins and orange zest and then roll the phyllo dough<\/strong> around this filling before baking.<\/p>\n

\"Recipe-Apple<\/a><\/p>\n

It is quite a healthy dessert with little fat<\/strong> and “not so many” calories (i.e. you can find much worse on this website), so enjoy this Austrian delicacy<\/strong> without restraint!<\/p>\n
