Apple strudel made from puff pastry

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make apple strudel from puff pastry? Prepare the ingredients for the filling. Take any apples to suit your taste. If they are sour, add more sugar - and vice versa. I used brown sugar, but white sugar, honey, and molasses would also work here. Wash the apples and dry with napkins. Thaw the puff pastry first.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sort the raisins, remove any debris, place them in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Leave the raisins to soak for 7 minutes. After this time, drain the water and dry the raisins.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the apples, cut into 4 parts and remove the seeds and stalks.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut each apple quarter into thin slices.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a bowl, combine apple slices, dried raisins, starch, and ground cinnamon. Pour in lemon juice.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add brown or regular sugar to the apples. Mix everything well.

7. STEP 7

   

   For one strudel we need 250 g of puff pastry without yeast. If you buy store-bought dough, it is better to take it in plates of 250 g each. It is convenient to roll out the plates and give them the rectangular shape needed for the strudel.

8. STEP 8

   

   Roll out the puff pastry on a generously floured work surface.

9. STEP 9

   

   Spread the apple filling on the side, leaving the edges free. See exactly how in the photo.

10. STEP 10

    

    Tuck the side edges of the dough so that the filling does not fall out and the juice from the apples does not flow out.

11. STEP 11

    

    Carefully roll the dough into a log, being careful not to tear.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the roll on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Use a knife to make transverse cuts on its surface.

13. STEP 13

    

    Bake the strudel in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 40 minutes until golden brown. Determine the exact baking time and temperature based on your oven.

14. STEP 14

    

    Cool the finished strudel and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut it into pieces and serve. Bon appetit!

I had some puff pastry and decided to bake a strudel. I made two at once, otherwise one would definitely not be enough) It’s quite easy to prepare, I liked it. I used regular white sugar for the filling; there was no brown sugar, although I think it would have been tastier with it. I liked the result, my husband and children too. Even my mother-in-law appreciated it) The filling is very tasty, aromatic and goes well with puff pastry. I baked it on a baking sheet sprinkled with flour, nothing stuck. Maria, as always you have great recipes, thank you!

Ready-made puff pastry is a real lifesaver! I stocked up on it for the holidays so I could quickly make something delicious for tea. I added one large apple, raisins, sugar, starch - and now there was a fragrant apple strudel made from puff pastry on the table. It came out soft, fluffy and oh-so delicious! I finely chopped the apple, pre-soaked the raisins in hot water so that the filling was well baked and soft. I did not add cinnamon, lemon juice, brown and vanilla sugar. I tried to form a roll without tucking the dough on the sides (this is done so that the filling does not fall out). At the same time, the filling was kept safe and sound. True, the apple juice still leaked onto the baking sheet, but only a little. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
