So yesterday, I wrote that today was going to be Eat All Your Veggies day, but I looked at another website, and found that it is (also) National Apple Strudel day, which, to me is way more exciting than eating veggies. Not that veggies are not a good thing to eat, and I do encourage people to eat their veggies, today, and everyday, but apple strudel is much more yummy. Also, this is a dessert blog, and while I might be off topic some of the time, I try to stay with the dessert theme about 90% off the time. So apple strudel. Not hard to make; but I’ve never tried one with from scratch dough. I mean, I’ve made puff pastry before (many times in the CIA) and I can make it, but I am lazy like most other home bakers and would buy it from the store. It freezes well (and usually comes frozen) so I don’t have to worry about it for a while. Also, sometimes it is made with phyllo dough, which I have not made from scratch, but I think it is a similar process. Here is a Paula Deen video on how to make apple strudel (made with phyllo and of course, extra love that comes in the form of butter!) Happy Apple Strudel Day!
Oh I’m very disappointed I didn’t know it was apple strudel day. I’ll just have to remember it next year.
So much better than eat your veggies day, right? I wish I knew about it earlier, I would’ve made some to celebrate!
