Marillenknödel

Marillenknödel is a dessert common in Austrian (especially Viennese), Czech, and Hungarian cuisines, and across Central Europe. Marillen is the Austro-Bavarian term for apricots (most of the German-speaking world uses Aprikose), and this dessert is found predominantly in areas where apricot orchards are common, such as the Wachau and Vinschgau regions. Small dumplings (Knödel) are formed from dough, in which cored apricots or mirabelle plums are placed. The dumplings are then boiled in slightly salted water and covered in crispily fried bread crumbs and powdered sugar. The dough is usually made of potato (Erdapfel), though also quark (Topfen) and choux pastry are used.
