Preparation procedure

  • Dough preparation In a bowl mix the all-purpose flour (150 g), softened butter and sour cream. Work into a smooth non-sticky dough, adding the remaining flour as needed. Wrap the dough in cling film and put it in the fridge for 1 h (or in the freezer for 20 min).
  • Preparing the fillings Quark: mix the quark, vanilla and powdered sugar, add the raisins. Apple: mix the grated apples with the cinnamon sugar and ground nuts.
  • Shaping the strudels Divide the chilled dough into 2 pieces. Roll both pieces on a floured surface into rectangles. Spread the quark filling on the first sheet, the apple filling on the second. Fold the edges of the dough inward and roll into a log. Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Baking Brush the surface with the beaten egg yolk. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 15 min, then reduce to 160 °C and finish baking for 30 min until golden.
  • Finishing After removing from the oven let cool for a while, then slice and you can sprinkle with powdered sugar.
