As well as the Wiener Schnitzel, a visit to Austria is not complete without sampling the country’s best loved desserts – Wiener Apfelstrudel (Apple Strudel), best served with icing sugar and a Viennese coffee. Made from thin, crispy, light layers of pastry, with a delicious filling of apples, sugar, raisins, rum, cinnamon, cloves and lemon, this is a wonderful winter warmer, but is equally enjoyed hot or cold throughout the year.
Head to the charming Café Landtmann in Vienna for a slice of their famed apple strudel, served warm with a silky vanilla custard, washed down with a Viennese Coffee.
