Bad name for anyone searching for a strudel recipe. I thought this might have soup in it! Anyway, this is very good and so quick to put together. I do think it's close to impossible to roll as per the instructions because there seems to be too much filling for the amount of pastry (which I couldn't get to 16x12). Just enclose the filling in the dough, seal and place seam side down on parchment paper. Next time I will add a bit extra sugar, maybe an equal amount of brown sugar, and add some chopped walnuts.

This recipe is to die for!!! I left out the raisins and didn't use the confectioners sugar.

Great starter recipe! I also added walnuts to mine...this recipe allows you to add whatever else you want to the apple filling w/o any difficulties. Although I did have trouble using the swiss roll method so folded in 1/2 & sealed edges. I also used sugar in the raw to sprinkle on top!

Great easy recipe to make. I used the side of my grater to uniformly slice the apples. I added a few dashes of lemon juice to the apples and about a 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts to the apple mixture. Finished with a cinnamon glaze after the strudel cooled. Yummy!

Exactly what I was looking for. I had some left over puff pastry to use up. I scaled the recipe down to 4. I didn't do the swiss roll thing though - I rolled the pastry out to a rectangle as best I could and put the filling down one half of the pastry and then folded the empty half of the pastry over the filling and rolled up the three sides to seal. I also brushed it with milk instead of the egg wash and sprinkled on some sugar before baking. Yummy.

This was delicious. Very easy to make. I used Cortland apples and they were fine. I also substituted dried cranberries for the raisins. I did have trouble rolling out to the stated size, so I made it a bit smaller. I also used parchment paper to roll out on, this helped a lot to roll with the apple filling.
