Grandma’s Apple Strudel
Introduction
This is my grandma’s cherished apple strudel recipe, passed down through generations. I don’t make it any other way because this is exactly how I like it: rich, buttery, and filled with sweet, cinnamon-spiced apples wrapped in delicate, flaky pastry. It’s a dessert that brings warmth, nostalgia, and the taste of home.
Perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or any cozy afternoon with tea or coffee, this strudel is as beautiful to serve as it is delicious.
