How To Make Pear Strudel

A delightful alternative to the classic apple strudel. This has a lighter flavor compared to its counterpart but it is tasty all the same with its delicate flesh and flavor you'd only get from pears. These buttery and flaky little treats is certainly worth a try.

Prep: 40 mins
Cook: 25 mins
Total: 3 hrs 5 mins

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  4. Mix sugar and cinnamon.
  5. Reserve 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon mixture.

  6. Toss pears with cereal and remaining cinnamon mixture.
  7. Spoon half of the pear mixture lengthwise down center of each dough rectangle; fold both long sides of dough over pear mixture to enclose filling, overlapping sides of dough slightly.
  8. Place, seam sides down, on ungreased baking sheet.
