This is a delicious apple strudel. I found the recipe for the dough in an old cookbook and modified it a bit, also adding in a filling and topping. I tried the dough with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, but if you choose to do that, add more sugar. The filling is also good with about a 1/4 cup of dried fruit like dried cranberries or raisins or nuts like walnuts.
