Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 4 cups Apples, sliced Tart varieties like Granny Smith are ideal.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Freshly ground enhances flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Adjust based on the tartness of the apples.
  • 1/2 cup Raisins Soak in warm water for added sweetness.

For the Pastry

  • 1 package Puff Pastry Use high-quality frozen for best results.

Instructions

Directions

  • Prepare Workspace: Start by clearing a clean counter and preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and nuts. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Roll Out Pastry: On a floured surface, roll out thawed puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Fill and Roll: Spoon the apple filling along one edge of the pastry and roll it tightly, tucking in the ends.
  • Seal Edges: Place rolled strudel seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the top with egg wash.
  • Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry puffs up and turns golden brown.
  • Serve: After cooling slightly, dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Notes

Feel free to drizzle with caramel sauce for added sweetness. This recipe is versatile for substitutions like pears or adding spices like nutmeg.
