CHEF'S NOTES
Apple strudel is a classic dessert, usually made with Boskoop apples. It's a large rectangular pastry turnover, easily recognizable because of its nice high stacks of apple layers.
Strudel is cooked at a high temperature so that the fruit doesn't give off its juice. If the dough starts getting too brown, lower the heat and/or loosely place a sheet of aluminum foil over top without enclosing it tightly. Serve with crème anglaise or whipped cream.
If you don't feel up to making the dough yourself, use phyllo pastry... you'll have a less traditional strudel, but one that is just as delicious.
