It's easy to use frozen puff pastry, but I decided to make it from scratch. Here are the tips I learned from starting with zero experience to achieving success!!The origin of this recipeMy husband loves the apple strudel sold at a local bakery. It's not overly sweet like many American pastries and is quite delicious. I've tried various recipes to match it and finally settled on this version with homemade pastry.

A simple idea based on ingredients already available at home. Made for the first time! But I'll make it again even if the photo doesn't do it justice ;)

Family recipe, always been vegetarian. Granny Smith apples grow here, we make apple cider and grow table grapes to dry into raisins. The equipment we use is from 1903, to peel and slice, core, and dry apples with. For Strudels, I use fresh apples that are kept cooled. For my daughter, I make a second gluten and sugar free version mentioned in here.

I hadn't made this traditional German pastry recipe in many years. I inherited this recipe from my mother, but I used a little trick—I didn't make the dough like she did; instead, I used phyllo dough. This saved me a lot of work since the dough is very delicate to knead. I hope you enjoy this recipe and feel inspired to prepare this delicious dessert.

My lovely neighbor had a big harvest of apples and gave me a big tray of them

This dessert is so yummy and looks impressive, but is pretty simple to make. I forgot to take step by step photos while arranging the strudel, but the bloggers website includes a short video tutorial that is super helpful. Recipe adapted from Jocooks.com

Its supposed to be shredded swiss instead of mozzarella but I have kids and swiss is an acquired taste so I make it this way and my kids love it. Even the picky one!!

I have always liked the lemon blueberry combo in foods. I like to zest my lemon and use in the pie fillings, it is optional but very good. I hope this will make your spring and summer a hit at the bbq or dinner. I hope you enjoy.

This is a great muffin recipe. I just ran out of baking papers and decided to make cake. If using for muffins, fill muffin papers all the way to the top. Sprinkle strudel on top. Bake at 450 for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake 10 to 15 minutes or until toothpick test comes out clean. #cakes

This cake is great for a breakfast or brunch treat. It can be a snack or dessert. Goes great with a good cup of coffee or tea. Added bonus: makes your home smell AMAZING ❤❤❤#cakes
