Apple Strudel with Persimmon Sauce Recipe

By

Strudel is one of the classic winter culinary traditions in Italy and ubiquitous during the holidays, specifically in the two provinces of Trentino and Alto Adige or Sudtirol, mountainous areas bordered by Austria at the north and Switzerland to the northwest, as well as in Friuli Venezia-Giulia and on the Istrian peninsula. Hand-pulling strudel to paper thinness seems intimidating but it’s a wonderful activity that can involve the whole family. Here, the strudel is served with a sauce made from persimmons, which grow throughout northern Italy. Persimmons’ bright orange adds a splash of color perfect for festive occasions like the holidays. This strudel would also be delicious with some vanilla gelato.

Paleo Apple, Pear, and Cherry Strudel

By

Cindy Anschtz Barbieri

I called this a paleo apple, pear and cherry strudel because it has all of the ingredients of a strudel but I didn’t roll in a dough but topped with a crispy topping. I poured almond milk on mine and it was the perfect dessert with my cup of tea.. Paleo desserts are the best!!

Serve a warm and gooey cherry strudel – the ultimate fall dessert

By

Roberta Long

Teeming with ripe, juicy cherries, this subtly sweet fruit filling is encased in crisp, flaky layers of phyllo pastry, and a dusting of cinnamon, brown sugar, and almonds. “The sour cherry fruit spread makes this delicate and exquisite strudel a cinch to make.”

Apple Strudel

By

Lidia Bastianich

"This favorite belongs to my brother Franco and my son-in-law Corrado. I always make it at a family meal in the fall, when the apples are in season, and I know they will both be there. Strudel is a Middle European dessert that is very common in the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia and on the peninsula of Istria, where I grew up. But strudel is loved everywhere, especially at our restaurant Becco, where it is served warm with vanilla sauce and cinnamon ice cream. I make many variations on the theme, sometimes by adding fresh cranberries and or squash to the apples. Like in the recipe in Lidia’s Family Table, it makes it a very seasonal Thanksgiving treat." — Lidia Bastianich
