How to Make Bavarian Pulled Apple Strudel Gezogene Strudel

  1. Prepare the dough according to your preferred recipe (many variations exist; a simple yeast dough works well). Let the dough rise until doubled in size.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Peel, core, and thinly slice 6-8 medium apples (about 4 cups). Sauté the apples in 2 tablespoons of butter until softened. Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup raisins, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Set aside to cool.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, gently stretch the dough into a very thin rectangle (aim for nearly translucent). This step requires patience and skill; it's part of the magic!
  4. Spread the cooled apple filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
  5. Carefully roll up the strudel, starting from the long side. Tuck in the ends to seal.
  6. Place the strudel seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Brush the strudel with melted butter and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  8. Let the strudel cool slightly before slicing and serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
