Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- 2. In a large bowl, stir together the peaches, brown sugar, flour, walnuts and vanilla extract.
- 3. Unfold pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll pastry sheet to form a 14x12-inch rectangle. Gently transfer pastry sheet to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon the peach mixture lengthwise down the middle of the pastry sheet. Cut slits 1 inch apart on both sides of the pastry to within 1/2 inch of the peach filling. Starting at one end, fold the pastry strips over the peach filling in a braided pattern (fold one strip from the left, then fold one strip from the right), repeating until the filling is covered with the pastry strips.
- 4. Beat the egg and water together. Brush the egg wash over the pastry, and sprinkle the coarse sugar on top.
- 5. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the pastry is a light golden color and pastry filling is piping hot. Let the pastry cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes before slicing and serving

Steps:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and stir in apples, raisins, and golden raisins. Saute for about 5 to 7 minutes until they begin to caramelize. Add pears, peaches, vanilla, cinnamon, and brown sugar and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- If phyllo was defrosted, make sure it is completely defrosted before handling it. Once removed from package, you will need to cover phyllo with waxed paper and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Working with 1 sheet at a time, lay out a dough sheet on a baking sheet and brush on butter. Lay another sheet on top and butter again, repeating for all the phyllo sheets, until you have a stack of 10. Start another stack of 10 on a separate baking sheet and butter in between each sheet in the same way.
- Fold cubed pound cake and bread crumbs into the fruit mixture. (This will absorb enough of the moisture to prevent the phyllo from breaking down.)
- Spread the fruit mixture evenly over each stack of prepared phyllo and gently roll up the dough from the longest side, folding the ends shut as you go. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake in oven until golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
- Serve at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and warm caramel sauce.

Ingredients:
To make an appleberry peach strudel style pastry, you will need the following ingredients:For the filling:
- 3 medium-sized apples, peeled and diced
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 cup mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the pastry:
- 8-10 sheets of phyllo dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds or pecans)
Instructions:
To make an appleberry peach strudel style pastry, follow these easy steps:- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- To make the filling, combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well.
- Prepare the pastry by placing one phyllo sheet on a clean work surface and brushing it with melted butter. Sprinkle a small amount of breadcrumbs and chopped nuts over the sheet.
- Place another phyllo sheet on top of the first one, brush with butter and sprinkle the breadcrumbs and nuts again. Repeat this process until you have used all the phyllo sheets.
- Spread the filling in a long strip along the middle of the phyllo stack. Make sure to leave at least 2-3 inches of phyllo on each side of the filling.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, make 1-inch slits diagonally across the phyllo on both sides of the filling. Do not cut through the filling; you will be using these slits to fold the pastry later on.
- Brush the edges of the phyllo with melted butter and carefully fold the edges up over the filling.
- Starting from one end, fold the slit sections of the phyllo over the filling to create a braided effect. Brush the entire pastry with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
