PUFF PASTRY APPLE STRUDEL



PUFF PASTRY APPLE STRUDEL image

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet)
1 egg
1 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
2 tbsp. raisins
Confectioners' sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Directions Thaw the pastry sheet at room temperature for 40 minutes or until it's easy to handle. Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork. Stir the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add the apples and raisins and toss to coat. Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 16 x 12-inch rectangle. With the short side facing you, spoon the apple mixture onto the bottom half of the pastry sheet to within 1-inch of the edges. Starting at the short side, roll up like a jelly roll. Tuck the ends under to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the pastry with the egg mixture. Cut several 2-inch-long slits 2 inches apart on the top. Bake for 35 minutes or until the pastry is golden. Cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar, if desired. Tip: Make sure to toss the apples and raisins in Step 2 until they're evenly coated with the flour mixture. The flour helps to thicken the juices released by the apples as they cook.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apples thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly in the strudel.
  • If you don't have puff pastry, you can use a store-bought pie crust instead. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package directions before using.
  • To make the strudel ahead of time, assemble it and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • When you're ready to bake the strudel, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Bake the strudel for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  • Serve the strudel warm or at room temperature. It can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

Apple strudel is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its flaky pastry, sweet apples, and warm spices, apple strudel is a surefire way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
