Christmas Strudel

Ahh the Strudel, it's perfect anytime, but especially at Christmas. We've opted for a traditional apple filling here, but there are many wonderful variations ranging from sweet cherry, Christmas pudding,  to Sicilian fig & spice. The pastry you choose is really up to you as ready-made puff pastry or short crust work beautifully, though serious cooks, may prefer trying their hand at the art of traditional strudel pastry which is “stretched” so thinly that you could almost read a newspaper through it. Which ever way you choose make it,  we hope you enjoy creating your own Strudel tradition.
