@Carmie That apple strudel looks so delicious! i'd eat a big slab of that with some vanilla ice cream Smiley Happy.  Great job!

@lcubedsudbury  My grocery store has Pepridge Farm Puff pastry and it's located in the freezer section next to the frozen pies.

It has been awhile since I worked with puff pastry but I believe I would keep a damp towel over it as I worked so it wouldn't dry out.

Thank you for sharing your recipe! I am craving this now. Smiley Happy

You do not need a damp towel over this dough.  It is not the dry flaky type that comes in sheets.  It is a soft dough that bakes up like Phyllo dough, but isn't. You just roll out and fill...no melted butter between layers and it doesn't dry out like Phyllo. 

 

I made two more today.  It took me less than 10 minutes to peel and chop the apples, mix with cinnamon and sugar, and assemble the strudels including the braiding.

 

I put white sanding sugar on the two I made today.

This looks delicous @Carmie  and you make it sound so easy.

I wouldn't even know what size pan to buy or where to place the oven rack.   However, it would be a real coup if I could.  Thanks. Maybe one day you could do a step by step like "strudel or cooks for dummies".  Thank you.

I know @Lovestheshores  thanks but that is still not enough for me.   What type of baking sheet?  I need to be instructed like a baby learning to walk step by step.  (a perfectionist here - that is I).

 

I see these doughs in the refrigeration section all the time and are very interesting to look at.

 

Well I do make very nice and delicious toll house chocholate

chip cookie and seal tightly.  They stay soft and I get rave reviews from actual cook's who know what they are doing. By the third time I finally got the timing and consistency right.  I think it's the heat level and each oven varies no matter what temperature you put it on.  I now have a Samsung from GE Profile I used before and I'll bet they turn out different.  I need to give it a try.  So it is my one and only claim to fame.Woman LOL
