Apple Strudel is a classic pastry that combines the comforting flavors of cinnamon and sugar with sweet, juicy apples, all wrapped up in a flaky puff pastry. This easy apple strudel recipe is perfect for both beginners and seasoned bakers, offering a delightful dessert that can be prepared quickly and enjoyed by everyone.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Peel and core the apples. Cut them into thin slices or small cubes, depending on your preference.
- In a large bowl, combine the apple slices/cubes with the sugar, cinnamon, and raisins. Mix well to ensure the apples are evenly coated with the sugar and cinnamon.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to ensure it is even in thickness. If your puff pastry is not pre-rolled, roll it out to about 12x14 inches.
- Place the puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly along the length of the puff pastry, leaving about an inch of space around the edges.
- Fold the short sides of the pastry inward over the filling, then carefully lift one long side of the pastry and roll it over the apple mixture, sealing the edges by pressing them together.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush the rolled strudel with the beaten egg. This will give the strudel a beautiful, glossy finish when baked.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Once baked, remove the strudel from the oven and let it cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Transfer it to a wire rack to cool further, if desired.
- Slice into portions and serve warm. Optionally, you can dust with powdered sugar or serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Tips:
- Choose a crisp and slightly tart variety of apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor balance.
- Defrost the puff pastry sheet in the refrigerator to keep it cool and prevent it from becoming too sticky to handle.
- Use a sharp knife or apple slicer to ensure uniform apple pieces for even cooking.
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with a lightly beaten egg to help seal the strudel and give it a beautiful golden color when baked.
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- If the puff pastry gets too soft while assembling the strudel, place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm up.
This easy apple strudel recipe is a straightforward and rewarding way to satisfy your sweet tooth. With minimal ingredients and simple preparation, you’ll have a stunning dessert that’s sure to impress. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
