I was disappointed with this recipe. The crust was tough and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well.

This recipe is a keeper! The strudel was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The filling was flavorful and the crust was flaky. I will definitely be making this again.
