Apple Strudel

golden raisins

apples

brown sugar

cinnamon

nutmeg

puff pastry (thawed)

milk

sugar

vanilla extract

Mix raisins and rum in a small bowl.  Place the bowl in a sink filled with a couple inches of hot water; soak for 15-20 minutes.

Drain any excess rum from raisins. Mix raisins, apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay out two large pieces of parchment paper for working and baking on. Gently unfold the puff pastry and place one on each piece of parchment paper.  Using a rolling pin gently roll the folds and creases in the pastry to smooth the dough.  Divide the apple mixture evenly between the two sheets spreading up through the center of the dough.

Using a pizza cutter cut the dough in strips about 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide being careful to line up the cut as close as possible on both sides of the apple mixture. Gently (using the parchment paper) move the cut puff pastry to baking sheets keeping the parchment paper on the baking sheets.

Fold each strip across at a little bit of a downward angle starting with either the left or the right.  So you will go left, right, left, right.  As you go along moisten the far outer one inch of the strips that that you fold in second (or in this case the right) lightly with water. Using paper towels soak up any excess juice around the edges of the strudel.

In a small bowl beat egg and milk.  Using a pastry brush lightly coat the tops and sides of the strudel. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.

In medium bowl whisk together powdered sugar, milk, ground cinnamon and vanilla.  Drizzle over fully cooled apple pastry.

This is totally irresistible! My family enjoyed this for our brunch!

Love all the ingredients, can’t wait to try this! It looks so delicious and easy!

Puff Pastry Apple Strudel Recipe: Quick and Easy

(2 sheets) frozen puff pastry (thawed

baking apples

tbsp white sugar (divided)

tbsp flour

walnuts (finely chopped)

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.
