strudel

Layered fruit pastry

Strudel is a pastry made by wrapping thin layers of dough around a filling, then baking.

Apple strudel, filled with spiced apples, raisins, and breadcrumbs, is the classic version: We ordered strudel and coffee at the Viennese café.

Other fillings include cheese, cherries, or savory ingredients.

The dough is stretched paper-thin before rolling.
