The Magic of Puff Pastry
I love opening a box of puff pastry. It feels like a little miracle. That flat sheet turns into something so flaky and golden.
It puffs up in the hot oven. All those buttery layers get crispy. It makes any filling feel like a special treat.
A Little Story for You
My grandson once called this recipe “apple lasagna.” I still laugh at that. He saw the layers and got his meals mixed up.
It just goes to show you. Cooking should be fun, not perfect. A happy kitchen is the best kind of kitchen. This matters because joy is a key ingredient.
Let’s Talk Fillings
The cream cheese mix is my secret. It makes the apples taste rich and cozy. Doesn’t that smell amazing when you mix it?
*Fun fact*: The sugar on top is called turbinado. It has big crystals that crunch! It’s like little jewels for your strudel. What is your favorite fruit filling? I’d love to know.
