Hi!
My great grandmother was originally from Ratiskovice – my mother was very close to her and my mom has talked for years about the Apple Strudel my great grandma would make – how thin she got the dough and how good it was.
For Christmas I’d like to surprise my mom by doing my best at making a strudel like my great grandmas. Unfortunately, I don’t have a recipe of hers. I’ve been doing some online research and it looks like maybe this [one](https://jennifercooks.com/czech-apple-strudel/) seems most authentic?
Questions:
– is it?
– I’m in the US so all the other recipes I’m finding have sugar or brown sugar in them, is that just America messing it up? Or is the added sugar recommended?
– some sites say soak the raisins in rum? Is that right?
– any other tips?
Thank you!! I’m at a loss with who I can ask!
