Bavaria's landmark dessert: paper-thin pulled strudel dough wrapped around sliced apples, raisins, breadcrumbs and cinnamon sugar. Baked crisp, dusted with icing sugar, served warm with vanilla sauce and ice cream.
Apfelstrudel traces back to 17th-century Habsburg Vienna, where the strudel dough-pulling technique arrived via Hungarian and Turkish baking traditions during the Ottoman-Habsburg wars. The Bavarian Munich version codified through the 19th century when the city was deeply tied to the Austrian court and bourgeois cafes adopted the dish; today it stands alongside Sachertorte and Kaiserschmarrn as the German-speaking Alpine dessert. The hand-pulled dough must stretch to newspaper-print transparency. Cafe Frischhut and Cafe Luitpold serve the canonical Munich versions.
