Apple Strudel

Recipe By :Biergarten, Germany, Epcot
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup bread flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup warm water
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Apple Filling:
2 pounds apples -- sliced
1/2 cup melted butter
4 tablespoons toasted breadcrumbs
1/4 cup raisins
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix together the bread flour, all purpose flour, and salt in a mixing bowl using the dough hook on a mixer.
Slowly add the egg yolks, oil and warm water on medium speed until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl, but slightly sticks to the bottom of the bowl.
Remove from the mixing bowl and place in a sealed container covering with vegetable oil.
Place dough in refrigerator overnight.
Remove from refrigerator and gently wipe off the excess oil from the dough.
For best results, place a clean, lint free towel on the kitchen counter and gently pull the dough with your hands until the dough is paper thin, shaping into a rectangle.
Once you have stretched out the dough, place 3 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs on the long end of the dough closest to you approximately 3 inches wide.
Mix together apples and raisings and place on top of bread crumbs. Mix together sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over apple mixture. Sprinkle remaining breadcrumbs over apple mixture.
With a pastry brush, brush melted butter on the dough that is exposed.
Grabbing the towel with the side where the apple mixture, roll the dough to the other end making sure that the apple mixture inside is even. Brush the outside of the dough with more of the melted butter.
Bake at 400ºF degrees for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until dough is golden brown.
Let cool at room temperature for approximately 30 to 45 minutes, then slice with a serrated knife into 8 equal portions.

Biergarten....this is a MUST every trip. And I can't in all honesty tell you the food is THAT good! It's good, but not to die for. Must be the huge tankard of beer? But DSs just love to go--they go back to that buffet over and over and then smuggle out pretzel rolls.

DH has been the Bergermeister twice, so that adds to the fun of it. If they seat you next to the gate to the stage...you're it!

Haven't been there

What does the Bergermeister get to do?

 

[pennst8r]

they dress you up with a top hat and a sash, and you get to tap the keg to start of Oktoberfest. You have to make sure the beer is good! Bob likes to play along, since he knows a bit of German. Then you get to keep the glass.

I grew up eating some of that food. My mom was German (her dad came to the US when he was 16). The cucumber salad, the beets, that tomato salad, I ate stuff like that all the time. And of course, that pretzel bread--it is so good!

 

[Meriweather]

We like it there too.
Can't say the food is great, but it is good and fun enviornemnt.
Love the pretzel bread.
DH had the big beer once and then decided to go with the smaller from then on

 

[Danauk]

We have never eaten there as I am not fond of german food. DH doesn't drink the European beers in Epcot (especially the ones in the Rose and Crown) as he says they taste different!!

 

[Luv2Roam]

Always enjoy the Biergarten. Good times. Good food.
