At the table

Suedtirol.info’s shortcrust strudel combines ground cinnamon with apples, raisins, pine nuts and lemon zest. The spice belongs to the filling; shortcrust describes this version, not the only possible strudel dough.

Our suggestion: measure the cinnamon with the filling recipe so the apples retain their place in the finished pastry.
