Personal Notes:
Grandma & Grandpa Stefan would drive up from Los Angeles to visit and when they arrived we couldn't wait to open their trunk. There was always a tray of strudel for us to enjoy. Although this recipe given to us by Teodoscia Muciu may be a little different than that tray, it still has the same dough and delicious filling.
