Austrian apple twists, also known as Apfelstrudel, are a classic pastry in Austria and can often be found at a Viennese coffeehouse. This sweet pastry is made with a flaky dough filled with a sweet apple mixture and drizzled with a sweet glaze. The pastry is typically served warm and dusted with confectioners' sugar. Austrian apple twists have a delicate balance of sweetness and tartness and are perfect for a brunch or afternoon tea.

1.In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water.
2.In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, butter, egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, pecans, and cinnamon. Mix well.
3.Gradually add in the yeast mixture, mixing until just combined.
4.Knead the dough on a well-floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
