Strudel = Old Fashion

Jb Tyler, TX's Note:

This recipe makes the best flaky crust! You could use any type filling you like instead of the apricot jam, sweetened apple slices could be substituted. Remember, the crust needs to be mixed the day before. For ease of preparation you could combine the first 4 ingredients in the work bowl of a food processor - pulse until well combined. This is such a beautiful and delicious dessert!
