Puff Pastry Apple Strudel Recipe: Quick and Easy

(2 sheets) frozen puff pastry (thawed

baking apples

tbsp white sugar (divided)

tbsp flour

cinnamon

walnuts (finely chopped)

brown sugar

breadcrumbs

Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper and set aside.

To make the apple filling, peel, core, and chop apples into 1/2-inch cubes. You will need total 3 cups of chopped apples. Place them in a bowl and add 2 tablespoon of white sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Toss well and set aside for 15 minutes so the apple can release its juice.

Meanwhile, combine nuts, brown sugar, the remaining 2 tablespoon of white sugar, and breadcrumbs in another small bowl. Stir well and set aside.

To assemble the strudel, roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface to stretch out a little, about 10x12-inch. Sprinkle half of nut mixture in the center of the pastry leaving 1-inch from both sides. Spoon half of apple mixture on top of nut mixture.

Lift the front side of pastry and fold over the filling. Lift the opposite side of pastry and fold over. Pinch the sides down to seal. Carefully transfer the strudel to a prepared baking sheet, placing the seam-side down. Tuck both ends under. Repeat the same on the other pastry sheet.

Brush the strudels with egg wash and make slits for the steam to escape. Bake the strudel in a preheated 375˚F oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Let the pastry cool for 10 minutes.

Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream.

Apple Strudel

Enjoy the combination of a sweet, lightly spiced apple filling encased in a buttery, flaky puff pastry crust in under 45 minutes, thanks to store-bought pastry, in this quick and easy apple strudel recipe!

puff pastry (thawed (gluten-free if needed))

apples

lemon juice

walnuts (chopped)

raisins ((see notes))

sugar of choice (+ more for sprinkling on top (see notes))

vanilla bean paste (or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract)

ginger

cardamom

Check the video in the post for easy visual instructions.First, preheat the oven to 350 °F/180 °C and roll out the sheet of puff pastry, placing it on a baking tray. I use the parchment paper it comes with to line the baking sheet.

Then, rinse and chop the apples into ½-inch pieces and transfer them to a large bowl with the remaining filling ingredients. Stir well.

Pour the apple mixture over the strudel dough, forming a rectangular mound in the middle with a 2-inch border all the way around.

To seal the apple strudel, first, fold the top and bottom up and over the filling. Then, carefully fold in both sides, pinching at the seams to seal it.If there are a few small cracks, that’s fine. However, if you want to try to fix them, use a damp finger and gently smooth/pinch them closed.

(OPTIONAL STEP) For a more browned top, brush the pastry with melted vegan butter and sprinkle it with coarse sugar of choice.

Transfer the apple strudel to the oven, seam side down, and bake for about 35 minutes until lightly golden brown on the outside.

Allow it to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar (or powdered Erythritol), slice, and serve!

My favorite way to serve this dessert is with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream, warm vegan custard/ vanilla sauce, or dairy-free whipped cream.

REALLLY good recipe! I just swapped out the vegan ingredients for the real stuff so it wouldn't taste like hot garbage. Five stars!!!

Absolutely wonderful recipe! I made the filling as written and used 8 sheets of phyllo dough (brushed with vegan butter) instead of puff pastry. 10/10!

Hey Ela
Would this work if I assembled it then waited half an hour before baking? Because it’s best served warm and I want to transport it for Christmas Day, could I transport it and bake upon arrival? Or bake, transport and reheat?
Stay safe. Greetings from Australia.
