Where it comes from
Strudel's thin pastry probably reached Vienna by way of Hungary during the Turkish wars. The oldest known strudel recipe is from 1696, in a handwritten cookbook kept at the Vienna City Library, and the surprise is that it is not apple at all but milk cream and turnip strudel. Apple strudel became the famous one later.
