I tried my very first strudel way back in 2006 when we were at a tea party at my friend’s house. She is from the Czech Republic and bakes wonderful strudel. I instantly fell in love with the flaky, buttery pastry filled with warm cinnamon and apples and asked her for the recipe.
Although, I don’t have her written recipe anymore as I lost it years ago but here is my version of the apple strudel.
Nowadays, there are many easy versions of the recipe but I like to put my time and attention into my flaky pastries as all the extra effort is really worth it.
Here the trick is to stretch the pastry dough as thin as you can and use melted butter for brushing (don’t use brown butter or ghee) as the moisture in butter creates steam during baking and makes flaky pastry.
You can either peel or not peel the apples. Sweeten and spice them to your liking or even cook them down into a preserve or use an uncooked apple mixture.

I prefer to use a homemade apple preserve for the pastry so as to have no chance of my pastry becoming soggy from the moisture in the apples.
Cheers to a beautiful apple season!♥️
