my grandma's apple strudel
My family has made this for a while and I love it. I lost the recipe and tried another kinda like it on a magazine site but it wasn't the same. Finally got the recipe again from my family and wanna post it so I never lose it again... Hope you enjoy it. Feel free to add your pics and give feedback. This is my grandma's recipe passed down. I am sorry I do not make it any other way because this is the way I like it. My father before he passed away would make this for me a lot. It brings back many memories for me, and I wouldn't want to make it any other way.
