Fruit-filled pastries are a popular dessert item that can be found in many cultures. The two most common types of fruit-filled pastries are tarts and strudels. Tarts are small, round pastries with a sweet or savory filling, usually made with a shortcrust pastry dough. Strudels are larger, flaky pastries filled with a sweet or savory filling, usually made with a puff pastry dough. Both tarts and strudels can be filled with a variety of fruits, making them a delicious and versatile treat.
