Cinnamon Sugar Strudel Tart is such a treat!  It’s simple to make and combines the classic cinnamon and sugar sweetness with a flaky pastry crust and strudel topping!  YUM. 

I added some vanilla bean ice cream and made it a delightful ‘ala mode’ dessert but it could easily be served with fresh fruit for breakfast or brunch too!

I took this mouth-watering Cinnamon Sugar Strudel Tart to my friend Jacquies birthday lunch the other day… everyone love, loved it!  They were even more thrilled when they found out that the crust is a sheet of puff pastry and right out of the freezer section of the grocery store.  Sometimes simple is the way to go; especially on those crazy-busy days.
