When there was still a good bit of sweet apple filling left from the latest turnovers adventure, I saved it to contribute to a notion that was floating around inside my noggin, bolstered by the presence of refrigerated puff pastry in the fridge. After letting a block of cream cheese soften, I whipped it smooth and added in vanilla bean paste, sour cream, sugar, and a hint of caramel flavoring. Then, for dessert last Monday night, I turned it all into an apple cream strudel, baked up and ready to receive the amiable companionship of a hefty scoop of homemade vanilla sweet ice milk...made because last Sunday was National Vanilla Ice Cream Day. We decided it was passable.
