How to Make Apple Strudel A K A Apple Potica

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the pastry dough: (Instructions for making the dough would go here. This would need to be added based on the actual recipe).
  3. Peel, core, and thinly slice about 6-8 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix are recommended).
  4. In a bowl, toss the apple slices with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry dough into a large, thin rectangle.
  6. Sprinkle the apple mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
  7. Carefully roll up the dough tightly, starting from one of the long sides.
  8. Place the strudel seam-down in a baking dish.
  9. Brush the top with 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk or cream.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  11. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
