Viennese Schnitzel?!
If anybody out there has a recipe for it, can you share it with me?
Can it be Veganized or vegetarianized? (if these words do exist! lol i don't think so, i made them up, but you get the point, Im vegetarian)
Answers: Okay, I know its an Austrian pastry, but other than that, I have no idea what it looks like or what's in it, or how to make it myself. Also, is it vegetarian or meat, or dessert?

Viennese Schnitzel is a breaded veal recipe. If you're vegetarian, you won't like it.
Ingredients:
veal (2 pieces x 150 g)
2 tbsp. flour
1 egg
4 tbsp. butter
salt, pepper to taste
Cooking:
Beat the veal chops with the kitchen hammer, but don't make them too thin, the schnitzel chops should at least be 4 mm thick. Prepare one plate with flour, and another plate with the beaten egg. Season the chops with the salt and pepper from the both sides, put into the plate with flour and and remove the spare flour from the chops. There shouldn't be too much flour on the meat. Put the floured schnitzel chops into the plate with the beaten egg and place it into the hot buttered frying pan. Fry the chops for about 1 minute and a half on the lower side until golden brown, then turn to the other side, and fry for about 2 minutes. Fry the chops on the medium heat not to make them too dry.
If it's Viennese Strudel you're looking for:
2 pounds McIntosh apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
12 sheets phyllo dough, defrosted, if frozen
6 tablespoons melted margarine or butter
1 cup cookie crumbs (ground vanilla wafers)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and grease a baking sheet (or spray with nonstick spray).
In a large bowl, combine the apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, raisins, and walnuts. Mix well and set aside.
Unwrap the phyllo, but keep it covered with plastic wrap or a damp towel to avoid drying out. On a sheet of plastic wrap or wax paper, lay down one sheet of phyllo, with the narrow end facing you. Brush with melted margarine or butter, working as quickly as possible.
Top with 5 more sheets of phyllo, brushing each with margarine or butter. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the cookie crumbs over the entire surface of the dough. Place half the apple mixture along the narrow end of the dough facing you. It should only cover about a quarter of the entire surface. Leave a 1-inch margin on each of three sides. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of the crumbs over the apples.
Using the plastic wrap or wax paper, roll the strudel up and away from yourself. You should be able to roll it over about 3 times. Roll it onto half the baking sheet. Press the ends together to seal.
Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo, apple mixture, and cookie crumbs.
Brush strudel with melted margarine and bake for 35 minutes or until golden.
Allow to cool slightly on cooking rack, then sift confectioners’ sugar over strudel and serve.
