The name strudel comes from the German word for “whirlpool” as the rolled version of strudel looks a bit like the inside of a whirlpool.
The first known handwritten recipe for strudel dates back to 1697, which is now kept in the Viennese City Library. This was for a milk-cream strudel and is thought to have been influenced by Turkish Baklava pastries which were introduced to Austria in the 1400s. Variations on the original recipe created the apple strudel, which became the most popular.
