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.

Step 2

Add raisins to the container with chopped apples, having previously drained the water in which they were soaked. Add sugar and cinnamon to the mixture, stir well.

Step 3

Place the dough on the table, having previously sprinkled a little flour on the surface or greased the table with vegetable oil. Spread the dough on the table so that a flat rectangular flat cake is formed and stretch it from the center to the edges to form a thin layer.

Step 4

Melt the butter and grease the dough sheet with it. Spread the apples with raisins evenly over the dough and lightly curl the edges. Roll up the strudel and seal the longitudinal edge of the dough.

Step 5

Line a baking tray with baking paper and carefully place the strudel on it. Bake at 200 degrees for 20-30 minutes until the dough is golden brown. Cool the strudel, spread with butter and cut into pieces for serving.

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

Can I use a different type of oil instead of vegetable oil in the dough?

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.

How long can I store baked apple strudel, and what's the best way to keep it fresh?

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.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

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.

What's the best way to prevent the strudel from becoming soggy?

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.

Can I use frozen apples instead of fresh ones?

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.

How can I make this strudel vegan?

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.

What's the best way to serve apple strudel?

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.

Can I make mini strudels instead of one large one?

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.

How do I know when the strudel is perfectly baked?

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.

Can I prepare the strudel ahead of time and bake it later?

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.

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
