These won Bob's Red Mill 2013 "Spar for the Spurtle" and sent me to Scotland-they're good for breakfast, dessert, or a snack any time.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The different textures in these apple and oat strudels are wonderful. The soft, warm oat center is infused with the flavor of coconut and cinnamon. Then there are tart bits of apple and sweet raisins to bring the autumn flavors together. When fried, the egg roll wrappers are crispy and golden brown. Dusted with powdered sugar, this is a yummy fall treat.
