The May Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Linda of make life sweeter! and Courtney of Coco Cooks. They chose Apple Strudel from the recipe book Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague by Rick Rodgers.

If I had to time to really write this up . . . but there is just too much wild fun, too many people and too many dinners to fix.

Making strudel is very very difficult and should only be done by the experts. ... and you would be so very wrong.

To Heather, my adoptee:  A super big Thank You for the idea of using Panko bread crumbs and making this look really possible on the post day when I’d really crossed it off.

I used golden raisins in one made with bread flour ...

and mixed cherries and brown sugar instead of white in one made with AP flour.

I think the AP flour was flakier.  I also sprinkled it with sparkling sugar and it had much prettier color.

Honest this was really GOOOOOOOD.

Thank you so much to Linda of make life sweeter! and Courtney of Coco Cooks for this really wonderful and simple recipe. They chose Apple Strudel from the recipe book Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague by Rick Rodgers. 

I will be making this again ... I will be making this again tonight because my Dad requested it.

And always and forever, Thank You Lisa and Ivonne! for all the Daring Baker craziness and fun and another one done.
