To say that Corica's Apple Strudel is fantastic, would be an understatement. The crisp pastry accentuates the contrast between the soft apple and the smooth cream and custard, creating a supple balance not found in other pastries. The Strudel is easily the most popular item at the store, flying right off the counter-tops and fridges into the hands of extremely happy patrons.
This is what the strudel looks like while still in the box, in all it's glory.
And here we have a standard issue serving of the strudel, the cross section demonstrating the ideal balance (it's tilted for effect to show the custard explosion).For those playing along at home, it goes (from the bottom up):
Pastry
Custard
Baked Apple
Whipped Cream
Pastry
Custard
Pastry
Dusted Sugar
Some might argue that the dusted sugar is too strong and adds too much of a sweetness to the strudel, but I've yet to see a strudel disappear this fast in any dinner party or situation, so they're probably just finding things to criticize.
Ideally, it'd be something you'd bring to a dinner party when invited and it's sure to be a hit.
For around $13-15 per strudel, they're not cheap. But you can't put a price on awesomeness.
