What Makes Oktoberfest Artisan Fair Special?
Osep Apple Strudel
Lines of people wait for apple strudel in The Black Forest Café, delivered piping hot from the oven (it disappears so fast we have a hard time getting pictures of it).
Toni Osep’s apple strudel is legendary. She began making the strudel for the first Oktoberfest in 2009 after years of perfecting her technique for family and friends. As she aged, it became a challenge to stretch the dough over the top of the entire kitchen table. Her son, Ed, initially helped peel apples and in time progressed to learning how to stretch the dough. Toni mentored this process right up until she passed at age 97!
Ed now makes the famous apple strudel for Oktoberfest Artisan Fair. There are no shortcuts. It is a labor of love and Ed enjoys hearing how much people enjoy the homemade art!
