The Nutty Austrian Applestrudel, or Apfelstrudel Mit Nüssen, is a classic Austrian dessert that's typically enjoyed during the fall and winter months. It consists of a thin layer of crispy pastry wrapped around a sweet apple filling with added hazelnuts for crunch. The filling is often spiced with cinnamon and lemon for a bright, tangy flavor. Apple strudel has been enjoyed in European countries since the 18th century, and has since become a beloved dessert all over the world. It's perfect as a sweet treat after a hearty meal or as a warm and comforting snack on a cold day.

Instructions

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg, water, oil, and a splash of vinegar.
2.Mix to form a dough, then knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
3.In a separate bowl, mix the sliced apples, lemon juice, lemon zest, breadcrumbs, hazelnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional raisins and rum.
4.Preheat the oven to 180°C. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle about 30 x 40cm. Brush with melted butter.
5.Spread the apple filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the dough tightly, tucking in the ends. Place on a baking sheet and brush with more melted butter.
6.Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
