About Apple strudel
Apple strudel is a popular dessert originating from Austria and widely associated with Central European cuisine. This pastry features thin layers of dough filled with apples, sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and breadcrumbs, often paired with powdered sugar on top. While strudel is considered a treat, its ingredients can offer some nutritional value. Apples within the filling contribute dietary fiber and vitamin C, while cinnamon provides antioxidative properties. However, the pastry is typically high in sugar and saturated fats due to the butter and added sweeteners, making it a food best consumed in moderation.
Health Benefits
- Apples provide dietary fiber (approximately 2-3g per serving), which supports gut health and digestion.
- Vitamin C from apples helps boost immune function and supports skin health.
- Cinnamon offers antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Apple strudel can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving for best flavor and texture.

What is the recommended serving size for apple strudel?
A typical serving size of apple strudel is around 100-120g, which is approximately one slice or portion. To balance your meal, pair it with a source of protein or healthy fats, and avoid additional sugary sides to prevent overconsumption of calories.
How does apple strudel compare to apple pie?
Apple strudel generally has a thinner, flakier crust compared to the thicker pastry crust of apple pie, making strudel slightly lower in calories and fat. Both desserts contain similar fillings, but apple strudel tends to have less sugar and can highlight the natural sweetness of apples more.
