Simple Apple Strudel Recipe

In “The Sound of Music,” Julie Andrews, in the role of a singing nun, warbles a little ditty about some of her favorite things. While not everyone will share her enthusiasm for doorbells, sleigh bells, string-tied packages, and snowed-on eyelashes, we can certainly agree about the warm apple strudel. This German/Austrian dish is really quite a delight. As recipe developer Jennine Bryant describes it, it is “super tasty” due to the fact that “the apples are sweet but tart, and the spiced sugar mixture they are cooked in balances the flavor well.”

While a classic strudel recipe that begins with having to make your own pastry might be fairly labor intensive, this recipe is something Bryant calls “slightly simplified” as it is starts out with frozen puff pastry (thawed, of course). As Bryant tells us, using this shortcut makes this “a really quick and easy recipe to rustle up,” particularly as it is made with ingredients that should be pretty easy to find. Whether you want a sweet breakfast or a simple dessert, this apple strudel recipe has you covered!
