“On Saturdays, Mom would pack us five kids into the car, and we’d drive into the country looking for wild apple trees alongside the road. With the apples we picked, she’d bake this strudel, our traditional fall Sunday-morning breakfast.” —Beth Dauenhauer, Pueblo, Colorado

Had a few apples left on my tree so thought...why not try it! Glad I did - ended up making 2 of them. Thought it was very good - not quite a "true blue" strudel but a great substitute and way easier than apple pie!

I just want to comment on the equation that healthy = no fat. Fat is good for you. Your body needs it. Many nutrients require fat for absorption in our bodies. Butter is not evil. Trans fats, such as those in margarine, are evil. Hydrogenated fat is the devil. A recent study showed that people who ate low- and no-fat dairy products were at a higher risk for developing Type 2 diabetes than those who ate full-fat dairy. Of course, excess in anything, not just fat consumption, is not a good thing. Also, stop kvetching about ingredients!! Recipes are guidelines. You don't like white flour, add some whole grain flour. You don't have to put on the frosting--I didn't and it was just fine.

Ladies, it's a mock apple strudel because the dough for genuine apple strudel is stretched over the tabletop until it is paper-thin, then drizzled with melted butter [lots more than in this recipe!] and sugar. It is a lot more work and has lots more calories. Thank you, Beth, for sharing your recipe. It reads like a dream and I'm sure I'll be making it again and again.

It's called "mock" because it doesn't use a traditional strudel dough which far more time-consuming. It's termed "healthy" in comparison to the traditional recipe. There's only ONE tablespoon of butter here, in the entire "strudel" so that hardly makes it unhealthy.As soon as we hit the orchard markets at the end of the month, I'm going to try this one -- sounds so easy -- and let you know how my family (no stranger to traditional strudel) likes it.

"Mock" as Strudel is traditionally made with Filo pastry. I served this with "Mock" cream also. I found this recipe OK with no complaints from family.

Doesn't MOCK imply there are no apples in the recipe?

I don't understand why this is called a "mock" strudel. And I don't get why they consider this healthy. It has butter in it and ALL white flour. I think this recipe should modified even more to make it healthier.
