If I'm allowed to make an additional comment to my review: I would remind beginners like myself not to let the puff pastry get to warm before you start to work with it. It was starting to get pretty gooey in my 75 degree kitchen by the time I started folding it. So my strudels aren't as pretty as they should be. So keep it a little cold until right before you need it. -
Tasty and very easy to make. -
I love the versatility of this recipe. I have made these over 6 times now, each time with a different fresh fruit as the filling. I also made it with a cream cheese base. Excellent and Super EASY recipe! -
Delicious! I halved the recipe as i had one sheet of puff pastry sitting in my freezer, and a ton of apples on my tree. I whipped this up in minutes. The directions were clear and the resulting strudel was fantabulous. First time i have made a strudel, but now certainly not the last. -
SPECTACULAR!!!!!!! I am in AWE, my hubby is in HEAVEN!!!!!!! Only changes were that I braided the top, omitted the raisins as per his request, subbed pecans for him as well, and sprinkled brown sugar over the apples before I braided the puff pastry over them. But that was how he wanted it, LOL!! It came out PERFECT!!!!!!! What a treasure of a recipe, though!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!! :)

Delicious and perfectly sweetened! I made these for breakfast substituting pecans for the almonds. I also made a glaze with confectioners sugar, milk and vanilla to drizzle on top. Very yummy.
