Most often associated in the UK with Austria, thanks in no small part to its namecheck in the Sound of Music, variations on the fruit-filled strudel are found throughout central and eastern Europe, all of them closely related to the filo-wrapped desserts of the Balkans and Middle East. The delicate, stretchy pastry makes this recipe a project, rather than a quick fix, but it is a fun way to spend an autumn afternoon.
