First mentioned in 1697, the classic apple strudel - Apfelstrudel is made with ultra-thin puff pastry and filled with apples, raisins and almonds. It is juicy and spicy – pure 18th-century Viennese indulgence.
Our Apfelstrudel is hand-made fresh in our kitchen. The secret is to make the dough as thin as possible: 'so thin that you can read a newspaper through it' says the ancient Viennese recipe we are using. We use only premium apples, selected for their crisp texture and natural sweetness, ensuring every bite of our strudel is perfect.
Apple strudel is Austrian, and Vienna is its spiritual home. It became a beloved dish of the Habsburg court and remains one of Austria's national dishes today. The art of stretching the dough until it's almost paper-thin reached Vienna through Hungary from the layered pastries of the Ottoman Empire — so there's a little slice of Austro-Hungarian history in every bite.
Ideal for both cozy family gatherings and grand celebrations, our apple strudel is the dessert of choice for any event. Its timeless appeal and versatility make it a wonderful treat year-round, from birthday parties to holiday feasts, delighting guests of all ages.
For a truly indulgent experience, serve our apple strudel warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast between the warm strudel and the cool, creamy topping is simply heavenly. For a touch of elegance, dust with icing sugar and enjoy with a hot cup of tea or coffee for the perfect afternoon treat.

"Have bought several strudels over the last few years from Kipferl and they are always very good and as good as the ones my Austrian mum always made. Sadly she is no longer able to cook so this is the next best thing for our family."
"The apple strudel was absolutely delicious, with a lovely, natural taste. What I appreciated most was that it wasn’t overly sweet, unlike so many other apple strudels. Highly recommended!"

All our cakes are made fresh to order in our London kitchen and have at least 3 days shelf life when they arrive. Less creamy ones like the Linzer or Sachertorte will last even longer (over 6 days)
Once the temperature rises over the summer months in the UK, we begin to send ice packs in parcels to keep cakes cool.
Most of our cakes can be frozen as a whole or in pieces. We do not recommend freezing the creamy cakes like Esterhazy, Maronitorte and Cheesecake though.
Yes, please refrigerate all cakes to ensure they stay fresh for as long as possible.
