On June 17 get whirled up in pastry dough, apples and spices.  It’s National Apple Strudel Day.  In German, the word strudel means whirlpool or eddy.  This tasty dessert is perfectly described by its German language as the sweet mixture of fruit, sugar, spices and layers of thin dough that are rolled together and baked. The result is a bubbling, flaky treat.

As a breakfast item or dessert, apple strudel goes well with coffee and tea. Consider adding it to a brunch or bake ahead for guests. Often served at bakeries and coffee shops, strudel can also be a savory dish.
