Apple strudel in the oven

Cookinero 7 Jul 2025

The aroma of a dessert made from very thin dough with apple filling will make an ordinary kitchen or living room as cozy and sophisticated as a Viennese coffee house. A traditional European delicacy, apple strudel, requires a certain amount of attention and skill in handling the dough. But it is quite possible to cook it in a home oven if you carefully follow the detailed recipe.

How to cook Apple strudel in the oven

Step 1

Mix the egg, salt, vinegar and vegetable oil in a bowl. Add water and mix everything. Add flour in small portions, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Add baking powder to the mixture and knead the dough until it becomes dense, uniform and elastic. Roll the dough into a ball and wrap it in cling film. Leave for about 30 minutes.

Apple strudel in the oven - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter, coconut oil, or even olive oil for a different flavor profile. Keep in mind that butter may make the dough richer, while olive oil adds a slight savory note.
Baked apple strudel can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
Yes, replace the regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure it contains xanthan gum or add 1/4 tsp per cup of flour to help with elasticity. The dough may be slightly more fragile, so handle with care.
To prevent sogginess, make sure to drain the apples well and avoid overfilling. You can also lightly toast breadcrumbs and sprinkle them over the dough before adding the filling to absorb excess moisture.
Yes, but thaw and drain them thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Pat them dry with paper towels to prevent the strudel from becoming soggy during baking.
Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water) and use plant-based butter or oil. Ensure your sugar is vegan-friendly, as some white sugars are processed with bone char.
Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a dollop of whipped cream. For a festive touch, drizzle with caramel sauce or serve with a side of custard.
Absolutely! Divide the dough and filling into smaller portions before rolling. Adjust baking time to 15-20 minutes, checking for golden brown color. Mini strudels are great for parties or individual servings.
The strudel is done when the dough is golden brown and crisp, and you can see the filling bubbling slightly at the edges. An instant-read thermometer should register 190°F (88°C) in the center of the filling.
Yes, assemble the strudel, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. You can also freeze unbaked strudel for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
