My recipe story: I learned to make apple strudel in Salzburg, Austria this summer and promised to make it again for friends and family this holiday season! The recipe belongs to the Edelweiss Cooking School, but you could customize it to be your own. What truly made the strudel special was the fantastic memory of the vacation, and the friends with whom I got to create it with.
