Apple Strudel
A delightful dessert made with spiced apples and flaky puff pastry that brings back cherished memories of family gatherings.
Ingredients
For the Strudel
- 1 package Puff pastry dough
- 2 cups Fresh apples, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup Golden raisins
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Flour (for dusting)
- 1 whole Egg (for egg wash)
For the Glaze
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the fresh apples and place them in a large bowl.
- Add golden raisins, sugar, and cinnamon to the apples and toss until well coated.
- On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry dough to a size big enough to hold the apple filling.
Assembly
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the rolled-out pastry, leaving about an inch around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling and crimp the seams to seal the strudel.
- Whisk the whole egg and brush it over the top of the strudel.
Baking
- Place the strudel in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- While the strudel is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Once the strudel is out of the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top.
- Slice and serve warm.
Notes
For best results, use a mix of tart and sweet apples. Consider serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful treat.
