Apple Strudel Class
Stretch, Fill & Bake Austria’s Most Beloved Pastry
Learn how to make an authentic Austrian Apfelstrudel in this one-day, hands-on live class. We’ll prepare everything together—the spiced apple filling, toasted breadcrumbs, delicate dough stretching, and rolling technique—so you finish with a perfectly golden, flaky strudel straight from the Alps.
To make the class as smooth and enjoyable as possible, you’ll receive a prep video in advance showing exactly how to make the strudel dough. Since the dough needs to rest for at least two hours, this step is best done ahead of time. It’s the easiest part—and I’ll show you exactly how to do it!
Still have questions? No problem. I’m happy to schedule a quick video call with you before class to walk through the dough prep if needed.
