Apfelstrudel with Daniel: October 16

Daniel has at least three apple trees that are littering his yard with large red balls of sweetness. Today, I learned how to make apfelstrudel, or as we American’s call it, apple strudel.  Translated: swirl.  We made two stuffed to capacity with apples, nuts, and dried fruit (1 hazelnut and cranberry and the other sliced almonds and raisins – I preferred the former).  We topped hot slices with freshly whipped cream and nearly finished both during lunch in the sun.  Thankfully, Andre made three tarts later that afternoon, two with apples and hazelnuts and one with fresh plums and almonds.  We nearly finished one of them as a snack before dinner. Good thing we’re leaving tomorrow or I’d have to be carried out the door.  Too full to walk.
