Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make apple strudel from puff pastry? Prepare your food. If the dough is frozen, take it out 15 minutes before cooking, it will have time to soften. You can use either store-bought or make your own at home. You will find the recipes after the last step. You can use brown cane sugar, it will add a caramel note. Turn on the oven to 190 degrees in advance.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the apples, dry them, peel them, remove the core and cut into cubes.

Step 3

Step 3
Add half the amount of sugar, cinnamon and flour to the apples. Stir. Leave for 20 minutes so that the apples release juice and the flour absorbs it.

Step 4

Step 4
Chop the nuts, leave the size according to your preferences. Large — if you want them to be felt, small — if not. Add breadcrumbs and remaining sugar to the nuts. Stir.

Step 5

Step 5
The puff pastry should be soft and ready to roll out. Roll out one sheet of dough on a floured surface. Thickness is about 2-3 mm. There is no need to make it thicker; the dough in strudel is traditionally thin. We get a rectangle.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the filling on the long edge of the rectangle. Place the nut mixture first, followed by the apple mixture on top.

Step 7

Step 7
Roll the dough into a roll, pinch the edges and fold down. The seam should also be at the bottom.

Step 8

Step 8
Place baking paper, silicone or Teflon mat — whatever you like — on a baking sheet. You can simply grease the baking sheet with oil. Transfer the strudel to the paper, seam side down. Similarly, form the strudel from the second sheet of dough and place it next to it.

Step 9

Step 9
Beat the yolk with a fork or whisk adding water. Brush the top of the strudels with beaten yolk using a brush.

Step 10

Step 10
Using a sharp knife, make slits on top of the strudels down to the filling.

Step 11

Step 11
Bake the strudels in the oven at 190 degrees for about 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Refer to the time and temperature of your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe. Serve the strudel warm, as is traditionally done. Bon appetit!
