Easy apple Strudel? Really? YES! Here's an easy recipe that really, really is easy. Slightly cake-like, its flavor really shines through. It's a make-your-hubby-happy kind of cake. This recipe was given to me (and made for me) by my dear friend, Melania Orasch. It is Austrian in origin, and is slightly different the 'flaky-type' strudels, but is so wonderfully yummy!
Melania says she fills hers with apples, cheese, walnuts, or dried fruits, (the regular strudel fillings). The recipe below is the apple one. THIS IS WUNDERBAR!
- Strudel, similar to baklava, came to Austria through Turkish and Hungarian influences
- The German word, "Strudel" means "whirlpool" or "eddy" and describes the flaky layers of pastry surrounding the filling
- The traditional strudel dough is rolled and pulled until it is so thin that a newspaper can be read through it
- The most popular type is the apple strudel, but there are many other fillings, including sweet and savoury ones. Spinach, sauerkraut, and cabbage strudels are common as are meat ones
Melania's Easy Apple Strudel Recipe ❤️
Ingredients:
- ½ lb lard
- 3 cups flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs beaten
- ¾ cup ginger ale
- 4 apples, peeled and diced
- small handful of raisins
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Cut the lard into the flour to which the salt has been added.
- Add beaten eggs and ginger ale.
- Gather together and knead slightly.
- Make into a ball. Cut in half.
- Roll out one half as thinly as possible.
- Spread half the apples in a row lengthwise on the dough, keeping about 2 inches from the long edge and 1 inch from the ends. Sprinkle half the raisins over, 1 Tbsp sugar, and dust with cinnamon. Fold over the 1-inch edges and then the 2-inch edge and roll as for a strudel.
- Place, seam side down on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Bake at 350° F for approximately 30 minutes.
- Let cool before sprinkling with powdered sugar and serving.
- Makes 2 strudels
Hints:
- Make just one strudel now and keep the remaining dough for use another day. Wrap securely. Either refrigerate for a day or two. Or, freeze for longer term storage.
"Strudel" is an old German word that means "whirlpool" and that is pictured in the rolled up structure of the cake. Usually a 'strudel' dough is made that is very elastic and can be stretched extremely thinly. Or a puff pastry or phyllo is used.
Melania served this apple strudel when I went to visit last time. Enjoyed sitting in the living room with the orchids and her newly chalk-painted table.So many Strudels ...
Melania's strudel is different. The texture is more cake-like, but the method of rolling out thinly, covering with the filling, and rolling it up (think whirlpool) is very similar.
Popular strudels in Germany include the apple strudel (of course), a Topfenstrudel filled with sweet quark cheese, sour cherry, sweet cherry, nut, apricot, poppy seed, and raisin strudels.
Another easy Strudel ...
Looking for the 'flaky pastry type' strudel? Here's my recipe using frozen phyllo dough. SO EASY!

What others are saying about Oma's cookbooks
To those who don’t know Gerhild, she’s the Oma who put German cuisine on the map with her highly popular website, justlikeoma.com.
Oma dispelled, with great skill, my stereotypical view of beige-y sauce over beige-y sausage with beige-y sauerkraut and beige-y potatoes and finally – beige-y taste.
I thought all German cuisine was the same – sausage.
Boy was I wrong.
Beautifully photographed, Oma’s recipes taste as scrumptious as they look.
Look out France, Spain and Italy. A new major European cuisine is about to give you a run for our palates!
➤ Ken Evoy, MD, Founder of SiteSell.com and creator of Solo Build It!
Sehr Gut, Gerhild! Your Quick Fix Soups e-book is wonderful.
My Swiss wife is going to love the soups that I make for her with your recipes.
She already loves my soups, but your e-book will greatly expand the variety.
Thank you for making the recipe easy to follow and see with the beautiful photos.
The extra tips and options that you give after each recipe are very helpful.
➤ Chef Glenn
Love authentic German food?
Oma creates traditional German recipes with tips and tricks to make them inexpensive, no fuss, and tasty!
Can’t pronounce Rotkohl mit Äpfeln?
No problem!
Oma lets you in on just what the recipe is (Red Cabbage and Apples) AND makes it so simple to prepare even an Irishwoman like me could follow her recipes.
➤ Sharon Peterson, Author of Simply Canning: Guide to Safe Home Canning and Teacher at Canning Basics Online Canning Course
Wunderbar! A must-have book for every household, and a mouth-watering walk down memory lane for me. I will forever cherish my copy of Quick Fix Soups, Gerhild.
These many jewels of good old-fashioned frugal recipes, all wrapped in beautiful photographs and sprinkled with time-tested “Oma says” advice, brings back fond memories of my childhood overseas.
Many of your pearls of wisdom are the very same secrets of our success for consistently eating healthy, minimizing time in the kitchen, cutting food waste, and keeping our grocery bill below $150 a month.
But, I gleaned many new and ingenious ideas from you, too.
Thank you, Gerhild, for pulling it all together into this fantastic gem of a book ... so my family can refer to them again and again for years to come.
