I made the Apple Strudel for an Octoberfest and I got such good comments on it that I thought I would share them. I was told that this is the best dessert they have ever tasted. People that were at our table, were going back for seconds and thirds. There were lots of other desserts, but this was the first to go. I drained the liquid after I cooked the raisins in the Microwave. This made the recipe a lot less wet. I had made the recipe acouple of days before and did not do it that way, and the rolls turned out wet. I watched the vidio and saw that Paula had also cut slits in the dough, which is not in the recipe. The Phillo dough is easier to work with if you defrost it in the refrigerator.

Place phyllo on parchment papper ( about 3 inches in from top , then I begin my prosess, After the dough has been buttered and the apples are in, I pick up ends of parchment papper and roll over apples all the way down. Pick up parchment and drop it onto your buttered parchment baking pan. I hope it works better for "Ya All"

I had some phyllo dough to use up, so decided to make this. I halved this recipe, using 1 apple. It was FABULOUS! I almost ate the whole thing by myself, with a big glass of milk. I didn't have any raisins, so skipped that step, & used walnuts b/c that's all I had. I also forgot to put the cinnamon in the inside, so it was only sprinkled on the top, & yet it was still delicious. I would definitely make again! Also it helps to watch the video just before you make it.

What a great, easy recipe. My daughter and I made this in celebration of "johnny appleseed's " b-day to share with her 2nd grade class. She helped crush the cookies and peel the apples. The Filo dough was easy to use (as long as you keep it covered and we left out the raisin's so I actually doubled the recipe (i did not double the glaze and made 2 strudel's. Watch the video - it helps if you've never rolled a strudel before, this was my first time.

This is the first strudel I have ever made. This is also the first time I worked with Phyllo. The filling was super easy to make. The phyllo was not easy to work with as it kept falling apart but I found that if you just layered the pieces together and brushed the butter on it, it did stick together completely when I needed to roll the entire thing over. It makes enough filling for 2.5 strudels. This worked for me because I needed to make two but if you don't definitely cut the filling in half. I also drained the excess bourbon from the raisins before adding it to the filling and it worked quite well. All in all a delicious recipe that I will make again.

This recipe is wrong wrong wrong!

I made 3 1/2 rolls!!! There is Way too much Filling.

The Glaze: I had enough left over to GLAZE THE WINDSHIELD ON MY CAR.!

Unless they forgot to tell us to buy a case of Phyllo Dough to cook it all.

Hmmm, who knows?

Filling was great. I did substitute dried cranberries for raisins. Did have difficulty with the phyllo. Made for a church function, but decided not to take. Just did not like the way it looked. Recipe for the filling makes way too much for one strudel. I made two and still had filling left over. I usually have great success with Paula Deen's recipes but I don't think I'll try this one again unless I use the filling in a pie crust.

Very delectable. I didn't use that much butter between the layers..... and I baked for 23 minutes until golden brown. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sugar and caramel are also a must when serving this pastry!!!

I bought a 1-pound package of phyllo dough as the recipe called for. I buttered and stacked 5 sheets. I already had the apple mixture mixed and had followed the suggestion of one of the raters and didn't use the cookie crumbs. The mixture smelled heavenly!

The phyllo sheets I used measured 9"x14". There was no way that I was going to get all of that mixture on the bottom 1/3 of the stacked sheets. In addition, I was to leave a 2-inch border. I ended up putting on as much as I could and still be able to roll the phyllo over the mixture. I ended up making three rolls in order to use up the mixture.

It's still in the oven, so I haven't tasted the finished strudel. I'm rating it a 3 because of the flavor and aroma of the apple mixture.

Can someone tell me what I did wrong?-
