Recipe Reviews
I was intrigued by this recipe because of the addition of cheddar cheese. While I enjoyed the strudel I have to say I really liked my previous (foodnetwork) strudel better. The cheddar did not come thru though I used a sharp and plenty of it. Here is what I learned: 1) I prefer sliced apples to chopped for this, 2) Olive oil and egg whites gave a crispier crust than filo brushed with butter! 3) if I use cheddar again it must be extra sharp and more of it 4) more filo sheets does not equal better strudel, the 5 sheets in the previous recipe was sufficient and made for nicer looking dessert (corners get thick with too much dough) 5)Subbing dried apricots soaked in rum and vanilla is indeed a great idea 6) Trader Joe's filo is pretty good! 7) Cinnamon and apples are friends, the Foodnetwork recipe amount of 1 teaspoon was perfect 8)Lastly, I certainly do not need 3 strudels which is how much this makes.
