How to Make Lemon Raspberry Strudel With Crescent Rolls

This dessert/breakfast treat is inspired by all things quasi-spring. You know, that time of year when frat boys drag out the salmon shorts but pair them with a Patagonia – the changing of the seasons stage that promises a heat wave but it just hasn’t quite happened yet.

Earthy sage and tart lemon mix and match for the perfect winter meets warm weather wake-up call. Save them in the fridge from last night’s dessert and pop it in the microwave for a morning strudel.
