Giant Apple Strudel

Gladys’ Bakery ships its famous giant apple strudel nationwide on Goldbelly! This popular giant apple strudel is Gladys’ own family recipe. It is a delicious pastry made of thin, flaky-layered crust, and filled with a scrumptious blend of apples, coconut, and spices. The top of the apple strudel is drizzled with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. This apple strudel tastes best when served warm from the oven.

Gladys’ Bakery opened in 1972 in a rural Texas hamlet 100 miles from both San Antonio and Houston. Founder Gladys Farek, a mother of 6 girls, was looking for a creative outlet and began baking bread, cookies, and pies; however, it was when she made her first fruitcake (and later, a world record-sized, Texas-shaped fruitcake) that a legend was born. Decades later, Gladys’ Weimar, Texas, bakery is Texas proud, loading its Czech-style fruitcakes with fresh Texas pecans and none of the usual raisins, dates, or spices.
