12Apple Strudel – Trentino-Alto Adige

In this Alpine region influenced by Austrian traditions, apple strudel is the standout dessert. Made with thin pastry wrapped around apples, cinnamon, raisins, and pine nuts, it reflects the mountain culture and abundance of apple orchards in the area.

Served warm with powdered sugar on top, it’s a comforting dessert, especially during colder months. In Trentino-Alto Adige, strudel feels more like a heritage dish than just a sweet treat.
