Apfelkren – Austrian Horseradish Sauce
This is a condiment from Austria that is traditionally served with boiled beef. It is nice with smoked meats as well. If you want to make this milder, add more sour cream/cream.
Warm Cabbage With Bacon and Thyme
Comfort food at it’s best! Sauteed green cabbage with apple, herbs, and white wine vinegar. Serve hot topped with crispy crumbled bacon. Delicious! Note: Use any green cabbage (Napa, green or Savoy cabbage) for this dish; adjust cooking times to suit.
Sour Cream Apple Strudel
Scrumptious strudel…the filling is divine, and the flaky pastry crust is amazing. Prep time is an estimate and does not include chilling pastry overnight.
Apple Pie Filling
A versatile Pie and Strudel filling that can be canned or frozen. Ideal for apple and quark filled pastry pockets, known in Austria as Apfel Topfen Taschen. Adapted from the wonderful Ball Blue Book.
Apfel Topfen Taschen – Apple and Quark Filled Pastry Pockets
These delicious treats are found in bakery shops throughout Austria and Bavaria and are enjoyed as part of a continental breakfast or brunch with a cup of coffee. They are best made with authentic german quark “Recipe #476124”, but ricotta or even cream cheese can be substituted. Use canned apple pie filling or check out “Recipe #481442” for a homemade pie filling. This pastry can also be made without the apple pie filling, just increase the amount of cheese and sugar to taste.
