Apple Strudel
1 strudel (6 - 8 servings) Looking for a delicious apple dessert that's not a pie? You'll love this apple strudel recipe! My version uses store-bought puff pastry dough for a quick and easy preparation. You can also use phyllo dough or even croissant dough if you prefer. Read more Strudel originated in Austria and quickly spread throughout Europe. The first mention of strudel dates back to the 17th century. Originally, Viennese strudel was made with homemade strudel dough, similar to phyllo dough. However, many other European countries, including the Czech Republic, where I'm from, use a dough more like puff pastry.While people originally had no choice but to make their dough from scratch, nowadays, most people simply buy puff pastry dough from the store for convenience. Store-bought puff pastry is a fantastic option as it closely resembles the original dough used in many European countries and makes any strudel taste absolutely perfect with minimal effort.
