Apple Strudel Easy Recipe

Ingredients for Apple Strudel Easy

• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 3 medium apples (e.g., Granny Smith, Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• Turbinado Sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Cardamom
• Lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Mixed Nuts
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
• Puff Pastry Sheet

How to Make Apple Strudel Easy

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
3. In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, salt, chopped nuts, vanilla extract, and flour.
4. Gently fold in the sliced apples and dried fruit.
5. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Gently roll it into a 16 x 12-inch rectangle.
6. Spoon the apple mixture onto the bottom half of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
7. Starting from the short side, tightly roll the pastry into a log, like a jelly roll.
8. Place the strudel seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Tuck the ends under to seal.
9. Brush the pastry with the egg wash.
10. Cut several slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
11. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
12. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the strudel is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
13. Let the strudel cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
