Apple Strudel

Apple Strudel is easy to make than we can think! It has a flaky crust with apple, cinnamon filling. It originated in Austria. Traditional Apple Strudel is made with a simple dough that bakes into a flaky crust having filling of apples, rum soaked raisins and chopped almonds. I made this strudel using pastry sheet, raisins, apple, cinnamon and copped walnuts.
