What happens when you add fresh berries to a classic apple strudel? You create a delicious, juicy apple berry strudel dessert<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of you my American friends might not be familiar with strudel: it's a traditional dessert from Austrian cuisine, popular in other European countries too, and the S\u00fcdtirol region of Italy (not that far from where I was born). And if you're ready to try something different, this is exactly for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Apple<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With its flaky pastry and a perfect blend of slightly tart berries and sweet apples, this strudel offers the best of both and...you will fall in love just like I did the first time years ago!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you like berries in general, you'll also fall in love with my mom's strawberry pie<\/a>, this crumble blueberry pie<\/a>, or this loaf cake with yogurt, lemon and raspberries!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

Why you'll love this recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main reason you\u2019ll love this recipe (and why I love it too) is that it\u2019s incredibly easy while still being delicious. Traditional strudel dough isn\u2019t puff pastry or shortcrust, it's famously thin, with the saying that it should be \"so delicate you can read a newspaper (or a love letter) through it.\"<\/em>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for simplicity's sake, we\u2019re using puff pastry in this version, which is what makes this recipe so quick and effortless...no need to roll out delicate dough for this puff pastry strudel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to call this 'Strudel with a Twist' or 'Last-Minute Christmas Strudel'. While berries might not be in season, their vibrant color adds such a festive touch, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was developing this recipe, I had the Christmas spirit in mind. I wanted to create a light dessert that perfectly balances a hearty holiday meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The berries, with their subtle tartness, are just the best thing to refresh the palate after the main course! Obviously you can make this all year round, in Summer it's even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients for this apple berry strudel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ingredients are simple, and I\u2019ve tested this berry strudel recipe multiple times to get it just right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, I used phyllo pastry and only berries, my goal was to go for something light and crisp. However, when baking, I found the inner layers of phyllo sheets didn\u2019t cook through properly. If you shape it as shown in the photo, though, that issue should be avoided.  Eventually, when I made the second strudel, I decided to go with puff pastry instead, and that worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
