I have a special recipe to share with you. It's not just a regular apple cake; it's more like a cake filled with apples, raisins, and nuts, all wrapped in a delicate puff pastry. When you combine all these ingredients, they create a unique and delicious flavor. Apple Strudel Recipe is full of nuts and raisins. That complements the taste of apples and gives it a royal touch. It would be best if you tried it.
My recipe attempts to replicate the classic Czech strudel I enjoyed in Prague.
It's a taste that stuck with me long after my trip, and I've successfully recreated it at home.
How to choose the best ingredients for Apple Strudel with Nuts and Raisins
Apples: Choose apples that hold their shape during baking. Slightly firmer varieties work best, so they don’t turn into mush. Cut them into even pieces so they cook evenly.
Raisins: Add natural sweetness and a soft texture. You can soak them in warm water or juice for a few minutes to make them even more tender.
Nuts: Add crunch and depth of flavor. Walnuts work especially well, but you can also use almonds or pecans.
Sugar: White sugar is traditionally used in this recipe and gives a clean, classic sweetness. If you want to reduce sugar, you can use alternatives like erythritol, adjusting the amount to taste.
Top Tip for Success

- If the strudel is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil during baking
