How to Make Sour Cream Apple Strudel

  1. **Make the Pastry:** Whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Stir in ½ cup sour cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Gently form the dough into a ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
  4. **Prepare the Filling:** In a large bowl, combine ½ cup panko breadcrumbs and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter.
  5. Add 6 medium apples (about 3 pounds), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced; ¾ cup granulated sugar; 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg. Toss gently to combine.
  6. **Assemble the Strudel:** On a lightly floured surface, divide the chilled dough into thirds. Roll each portion into a 15x12-inch rectangle.
  7. Evenly spread the filling onto each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border.
  8. Starting from the long side, tightly roll up each rectangle, pinching the seams and ends to seal.
  9. Place the strudels seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 55-60 minutes, or until the strudel is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
