June 17th, 2025 is National Apple Strudel Day

The oldest known recipe for apple strudel (Apfelstrudel) is from Austria. It was handwritten in 1696! A check of our apple strudel recipes was unable to determine if anyone from the Vienna State Library has ever submitted an apple strudel recipe to CDKitchen. So it is as yet unknown whether CDK can lay claim to having the 'original' recipe.
But old fashioned strudel was somewhat difficult to make, anyway. CDK's variety of apple strudel recipes range from easy-peasy to pastry chef challenging. Check our recipes for your comfort level and bake some strudel to commemorate National Apple Strudel Day!
