Daring Baker's May Challenge - Apple Strudel

This was my first month taking part in a Daring Bakers challenge. The May 2009 Daring Bakers’ Challenge is brought to us by Linda of make life sweeter! and Courtney of Coco Cooks .

I'd never cooked strudel before, so for my first attempt I stuck pretty much the recipe. I stuck to the recipe pretty much, though left out the rum, used 2 tsp cinnamon instead of the teeny amount suggested, and substituted slivered almonds for the walnuts.
I followed advice from other Baking challengers and used plenty of flour when rolling out the dough were really helpful. I think I managed to get the dough to about 2 foot square.
I was very pleased with my effort - as were all the family.
