Tired of peach pies? Save some of your peaches for our easy peach and almond strudel made with phyllo dough. Peaches and almond paste rolled in layers of paper-thin phyllo make for a light, flaky, and extra crispy dessert. It tastes like it came from a gourmet bakery!

Try it with fresh peaches to make it even more delicious!

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/2 cup almond paste, diced
2 cups thinly sliced fresh peaches
1/2 cup sliced almonds

2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 
  2. Brush the sheets of filo lightly with butter, stacking them up. 
  3. Arrange the almond paste down the center of the dough, lengthwise. Lay peach slices on almond paste. Sprinkle with almonds, then drizzle with sweetened condensed milk. 
  4. Roll up and place seam side down on a lightly greased cookie sheet. 
  5. Brush top with any remaining butter, sprinkle with sugar. 
  6. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

For non-nut eaters, what is the correct substitute for the almond paste?

Hi, Becky. While we don’t have any recipes for non-nut almond paste, you may want to do a google search and find out how to make a substitute. We’ve heard there is one made with cream cheese that could work.

Wonder how this would be made with puff pastry?
