Sweet Potato and Apple Strudel

With its crispy exterior and sweet, tender filling, this sweet potato and apple strudel is a delicious and nutritious snack or dessert. It's made with just a few simple ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking.

The origins of strudel can be traced back to the Ottoman Empire, where it was known as börek. Börek was a type of pastry made with layers of filo dough and filled with various meats, cheeses, or vegetables. Over time, börek spread to other parts of Europe, including Austria, where it became known as strudel. Strudel is now a popular dish throughout Europe and is often filled with sweet ingredients such as apples, cherries, or apricots.
