It spreads soft and golden brown on bread, with little raisins inside that always give the spoon something to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApple Strudel Fruit Spread\u003c\/strong\u003e is the strudel variety from Alpe Pragas in the Braies Valley of South Tyrol, featuring 75 percent fruit in a 335-gram jar. Apples make up the entire fruit content, complemented by sultanas, cinnamon, vanilla, a splash of lemon juice, and pectin from the apple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGolden brown, warm, like fresh strudel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon opening, the scent of baked apple, cinnamon, and vanilla rises, just as it would from a bakery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn bread, you first taste the apple, clear and slightly tart, then the warmth of the cinnamon settles over it, followed by the rounding notes of vanilla. The sultanas sit inside as soft, sweet dots, adding variety to every spoonful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture is soft and chunky, golden brown to amber in color, with visible pieces of apple. The lemon juice keeps the color bright and ensures the spread stays fresh rather than becoming caramelized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSultanas, cinnamon, and the whole vanilla bean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree ingredients turn an apple spread into a strudel, and all three are authentic here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSultanas are the dried berries of the pale Sultana grape—seedless, lighter, and softer than ordinary raisins—and they soak up apple juice as they are cooked down. The cinnamon is added ground, and the vanilla as a split pod with the seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpe Pragas works without artificial flavorings, which is most noticeable in the vanilla. It tastes more delicate and floral than the usual \"store-bought\" aroma, and it leaves little black specks in the jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly as much sugar is added as is necessary for gelling, since the sultanas provide their own sweetness. It is thickened with pectin from the apple, meaning the spread requires no external binders and yet remains easy to spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe strudel filling, from the oven into the jar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe apple strudel belongs to South Tyrol and Austria just as much as the mountains themselves, and its filling is always the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSliced apples, raisins, sugar, and cinnamon are placed on thinly stretched dough, along with breadcrumbs to absorb the juices. This is exactly the filling found in this jar, just without the surrounding dough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advantage is obvious: a strudel needs to be baked and eaten on the same day. The spread, however, waits on the shelf until breakfast calls for it, and it tastes just as good in July as it does in November.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn bread, in puff pastry, over rice pudding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe apple strudel has its place every day on fresh white bread with butter, in muesli, or over pancakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpread it onto rolled-out puff pastry, roll it up, and bake it for a good twenty minutes at a high heat, and you have a quick strudel on the table. Spooned over warm rice pudding or semolina porridge, it becomes a dessert, or stirred into quark, it creates a cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also pairs well with savory dishes, such as alongside aged mountain cheese or fried black pudding, where the sweetness and spice provide a good balance. For Kaiserschmarrn, Alpe Pragas offers this as an alternative to the traditional applesauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer more spice, try the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/alpe-pragas-wintertraum-fruchtaufstrich-335g\"\u003eWinter Dream\u003c\/a\u003e with rum and cloves; the entire selection can be found among the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/alpe-pragas-fruchtaufstriche\"\u003eAlpe Pragas fruit spreads\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Alpe Pragas","offers":[{"title":"335 g","offer_id":53071141798222,"sku":"034WIL4249","price":8.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/alpe-pragas-apfelstrudel-fruchtaufstrich-335g-n.jpg?v=1750978060","url":"https:\/\/norgutes.com\/en\/products\/alpe-pragas-apfelstrudel-fruchtaufstrich-335g","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
