I'm not a big fan of apples or pears, but this strudel was surprisingly good. I'd definitely make it again.

The strudel crust was a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I'll try brushing the crust with butter before baking it next time.

This strudel was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

Great recipe! Easy to follow and the strudel came out delicious. I used a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples and they worked perfectly. The strudel was a hit at my dinner party.
