Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Roll out crescent dough onto parchment paper and press the perforated seams together to make one sheet. (if you can find the crescent dough sheet then you can use that.)

Step 3

Using a pizza cutter, cut 1 inch strips on both long sides of dough sheet leaving the middle of dough sheet untouched for the filling.

Step 4

Spoon the pie filling onto the middle of dough sheet from one long end to the other long end.

Step 5

Take each strip of cut crescent dough and wrap over the pie filling from each side crisscrossing all the way from one end to the other.

Step 6

Brush the crisscrossed dough with beaten egg. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Carefully pick up the strudel by both ends of parchment gathered together and place on a a large baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and dough is cooked through. Cool completely before icing.

Step 8

In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to get the consistency you like to ice the strudel. Drizzle icing all over the cooled strudel. Slice strudel.
