Apple strudel is a traditional pastry that originated in Austria and is now enjoyed all over the world. This recipe features two delicious variations of apple strudel, one with apple pie filling and the other with fresh apples, brown sugar, and walnuts. Both variations are wrapped in layers of flaky and buttery phyllo dough, which creates a crunchy texture that contrasts beautifully with the soft and sweet filling inside. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delicious and comforting treat.
