Traditional Viennese Apple Strudel Recipe

Classic apple strudel is surprisingly easy to make. This old-fashioned, traditional viennese apple strudel (altwiener apfelstrudel) recipe contains simple ingredients, like apples, raisins, sugar, and cinnamon and is encased in a thin sheet of unleavened dough. This strudel is perfect all alone on a plate but tastes even better, with some vanilla sauce, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This recipe uses a homemade dough instead of store-bought filo pastry dough. The noodle-like dough recipe is just as easy (or easier) to use and tastes way better than store-bought. Even though the steps to perfect apple strudel are easy, one thing you will need for this recipe is time and patience.
