The filling was absolutely delicious, but the dough was very hard. I tried putting a foil sheet over them during baking to make them softer, but to no luck. However, the leftover dough fried up was delicious.

I LOVE BAVARIAN KRAUT CRULLERS!!!! If you know what I mean.

I loved the taste of these, but the dough was a little tricky. Maybe I didn't make it correctly. It was a little hard on the outside of the roll-ups. I wonder what could make is softer? Basting during cooking? The insides and bottom were delicious and soft like a dumpling. I thought the apple would make it too sweet, but not at all. I used a tarter apple. Also, being a vegetarian, I left out the bacon and bouillon, and I think the recipe was perfect without it. But, for those who eat meat, this would also be good with tiny bits of sausage inside. Maybe some leftover brats would work good. My family was mystified by them, but I'll think I'll make them again. I need to work on the rolling up proceedure to get it a little tighter. I did use less sauerkraut and more apple. I cut the recipe in half and only used 8 oz. kraut. Good stuff and a nice change.
