Apple Strudel

Friday, October 04, 2013

This Old World classic will make us feel like we took a cruise along a winding European river! We can enjoy the classic tastes of German-style strudel with the shortcut of store-bought puff pastry, sliced apples, raisins and a few baking basics.


Serves: 6
Cooking Time: 20 min

What You'll Need:

  • 1 sheet (from a 1.25-ounce package) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 (20-ounce) can sliced apples, drained
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • What To Do:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place pastry on a baking sheet and unfold. In a medium bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; mix well.  

  • Reserve 2 teaspoons sugar mixture. Add apples and raisins to remaining mixture; mix well. Let sit about 2 minutes; drain off any excess liquid.
     
  • Spoon mixture down center of dough. Cut slits in dough 1 inch apart lengthwise down each side of filling. Brush each 1-inch dough strip with beaten egg and fold over dough. Brush top of pastry with remaining egg and sprinkle with reserved sugar mixture.  

  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm, or allow to cool before serving.
