How to Make Cherry Strudel

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine cherries, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, unfold one sheet of puff pastry. Roll it out slightly to a 12x18 inch rectangle.
  4. Spread the cherry mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
  5. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the pastry into a log.
  6. Seal the seam by pressing down firmly and tucking the ends underneath.
  7. Brush the top of the strudel with the beaten egg.
  8. Place the strudel on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
