Classic puff pastry apple strudel

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make apple strudel from puff pastry? Prepare your food. If the dough is frozen, take it out 15 minutes before cooking, it will have time to soften. You can use either store-bought or make your own at home. You will find the recipes after the last step. You can use brown cane sugar, it will add a caramel note. Turn on the oven to 190 degrees in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the apples, dry them, peel them, remove the core and cut them into cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add half the amount of sugar, cinnamon and flour to the apples. Stir. Leave for 20 minutes so that the apples release juice and the flour absorbs it.

4. STEP 4

   

   Chop the nuts, leave the size according to your preferences. Large - if you want them to be felt, small - if not. Add breadcrumbs and remaining sugar to the nuts. Stir.

5. STEP 5

   

   The puff pastry should be soft and ready to roll out. Roll out one sheet of dough on a floured surface. Thickness is about 2-3 mm. There is no need to make it thicker; the dough in strudel is traditionally thin. We get a rectangle.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the filling on the long edge of the rectangle. Place the nut mixture first, followed by the apple mixture on top.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roll the dough into a roll, pinch the edges and fold down. The seam should also be at the bottom.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place baking paper, silicone or Teflon mat - whatever you like - on a baking sheet. You can simply grease the baking sheet with oil. Transfer the strudel to the paper, seam side down. Similarly, form the strudel from the second sheet of dough and place it next to it.

9. STEP 9

   

   Beat the yolk with a fork or whisk adding water. Brush the top of the strudels with beaten yolk using a brush.

10. STEP 10

    

    Using a sharp knife, make slits on top of the strudels down to the filling.

11. STEP 11

    

    Bake the strudels in the oven at 190 degrees for about 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Refer to the time and temperature of your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe. Serve the strudel warm, as is traditionally done. Bon appetit!

I've been wanting to make strudel for a long time. And then I came across a recipe for a classic puff pastry apple strudel on the website. I made it from ready-made puff pastry without yeast. For the filling, I cut the apples into small cubes, combined them with sugar, put them in a saucepan and put them on low heat. Simmered the apples for 7 minutes, stirring constantly (I did not add nuts, cinnamon and breadcrumbs to the filling). Then I added a tablespoon of flour to the hot filling, mixed it, placed it on thinly rolled out dough, and spread it over its entire surface. I rolled the dough into a roll, put the strudel on a baking sheet and put it in the oven. The strudel turned out to be delicious! Soft, appetizing, with thin dough and juicy, moderately sweet filling. Thank you very much!

500g purchased yeast dough Apples, cinnamon, sugar in a frying pan for about 10 minutes until the liquid has evaporated. When the filling had cooled down I started making it. I baked it in a gas oven at 180 degrees. I didn’t remove the baking tray from below for 25 minutes and put water on it. When I pulled it out, I sprinkled it with powdered sugar. I made this for the first time. It turned out so delicious WOW)))

Rusks, flour? I read it in the recipe and decided to add it to my save. Wow, it seems like such a small thing, and it turned out so delicious. I've made strudel before, but for some reason without these two ingredients. I don’t know what role they played, but somehow it’s especially tasty, the taste of apples is clearer, and it just melts in your mouth. Thank you for the recipe, now it will be my secret when they ask what I added!))) For the photo I had to cut it in half, since it didn’t fit on the plate, I ended up with something long))

Thank you very much for the recipe! It turned out very tasty! Although, due to the lack of nuts, I added dried apricots. Today my husband asked me to bake it again. Still no nuts. I’ll try adding a mixture of dried apricots and prunes to the apples.
