This Simple Cherry Strudel is where I use my go-to strudel dough—the same one I use for apple strudel. This version is simple, flexible, and a lot easier to make. If you’ve got fresh cherries and a little time, you’re already halfway there. It’s a great home-baked treat to make with whatever’s in season and on hand.| Stretch and Folds
