This was definitely easy, once the apples were peeled and sliced. However, it seems that most of the sweet juice ran out of the pockets, leaving the remaining strudel to be kind of dry and pasty. Maybe I didn't seal up the pastry well enough? It was definitely better warm and fresh vs leftover. I don't know if I'll try this one again.

We like to make this for an apple dessert that's a ton quicker than apple pie. Really easy! However, I prefer to cook the apple filling in a saute pan on top of the stove till slightly softened before putting in the pastry to end up with a more done result without overbrowning the pastry. And definitely add some cinnamon to the filling!

Loved this! True to it's name...EASY! Only changes: Used 3 Granny Smith apples & added a few drops of lemon juice, 1/2C of pecans (no raisins) and sugared the pastry before adding the apples. Brushed pastry after it was rolled with melted butter and then sugar. Seems like a lot of sugar but the apples I used were pretty tart and needed it. (And we aren't hugh sweet eaters.) Mine have cooked in about 12-15 min...maybe it's just my oven, but I would watch to make sure not to burn bottoms. VERY, VERY GOOD & EASY.

Excellent, basic recipe. i did make a bunch of changes after reading reviews. i cut 3 small apples and 2 nectarines. sliced them all in a bowl with sugar. (whole amount) a cinimon stick. pinch of nutmag and all spice. i let it sit in the bowl after mixing for about 3 hours. all the juice ran to the bottom. i then emptied the juice into another bowl. mix up fruit with a little bit of juice and some flour. This makes the recipe not so runny. i brushed it with milk and poked some holes on the top. made 2 strudel.

Very EZ to put together and lots of compliments. Guests said "Better than apple pie!" Served warm with vanilla ice cream. Only used 1/3 cup sugar (subbed a couple delicious apples in place of granny smith) and added a sprinkle of cinnamon and a little melted butter. Only used 1/4 cup regular raisins. Can't imagine using a full cup of sugar AND that many raisins - would've been way too sweet. Also didn't want to waste an egg for the wash so I just sprinkled a bit of powdered sugar on top after baking. Made a few slashes on top to vent before baking and covered my cookie sheet with no-stick foil. Will make again for sure.

this was easy as anything! I was a bit worried when the brown sugar just disolved & turned juicy in the apples & then oozed out the strudel but it went quite caramely in the oven & tasted good stuck to the bottom of the pastry. Tasted great & just as good cold the next day!

A bit messy, but worth it. Adding a little cinnamon also gives the recipie a little spice to counter the sweetness of the brown sugar.

Thanks, Jess - this was very easy to make - and so good! I made it (with a couple of modifications) for an Oktoberfest dinner we hosted. I left out the raisins and drizzled honey over the top of the apples before sealing up the pastry. We served it warm with ice cream. It was awesome!

The apple filling could use more flavor. Next time I'll add some cinnamon.

I used layers of phyllo dough instead of puff pastry (with melted butter and sprinkled sugar between each of 3 layers) and dried cranberries instead of raisins, as well as adding a little cinnamon, but the basic recipe is a good one. Be sure your filling isn't too wet. I also brushed the top with butter, instead of egg. This actually made two strudels for me, but still only served 6.

ok, but the juice content was so high that the crust was not flaky but clumped on the bottom and carmalized. Must eat hot and not great after cooled.

Agreed with the other reviewers and added cinnamon and a combo of pears and apples. Perhaps it was the juicy (courtland) apples I used, but I would suggest not putting in the extra juice, so that the strudel doesn't leak as much. Thanks for the recipe! A quick and easy apple dessert for the Fall!!

This recipe was nice and easy, which was key for me because I had to bake 40 of them for an Oktoberfest. I added some cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg to the apples and sugar, and sifted some powdered sugar on top for a very professional looking presentation.
