Blue Cheese-Apple Strudels image

It wouldn't be a family gathering at our house without this favorite strudel. The sweetness from the apples and the saltiness from the cheese is heavenly. Substitute Stilton cheese if you don't have Roquefort handy. -Patricia Nieh, Portola Vally, California

These strudels were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of blue cheese, but I thought I would give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The blue cheese flavor was subtle and the apples really balanced it out. I would definitely make these again.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts in the filling with pecans. They turned out great!

I love the idea of these strudels, but I found them to be a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less blue cheese next time.

These strudels were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more sugar to the filling. Otherwise, they were perfect.
