APPLE STRUDEL RECIPE WITH PUFF PASTRY RECIPES

Steps:

• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Lightly grease a large baking sheet, or line with parchment paper.
• Thaw the puff pastry sheet for 40 minutes at room temperature.
• In a small bowl, mix the egg and water.
• After 40 minutes, unfold the pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface, with the short side facing you.
• Spoon the apple mixture on the bottom half of the pastry to within 1-inch of the edges, then sprinkle with raisins (if using).
• Starting at the short side, roll up like a jelly roll.
• Place seam-side down on the baking sheet, then tuck ends under to seal.
• Brush with the egg mixture.
• Cut several 2-inch slits (2-inches apart) on top.
• Repeat with the next puff pastry (if you are making two strudels).
• Bake about 35 minutes or until golden brown.
• Cool on baking sheet on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
• Slice and serve warm.
• Sprinkle with confectioners sugar if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and roll out to a rectangle of 13x10 inches.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the apple slices, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook, stirring every minute, for 5 minutes.
• Put the apple filling in the center on top of the dough rectangle, leaving 2 inches of uncovered dough on the sides and 1 inch on top and bottom.
• Lift the dough on the sides over the apples to make a roll. Pinch all the seams of the apple roll to seal.
• Carefully lift the apple roll, flip it so the seam is down and transfer it to the baking sheet.
• Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Brush the apple strudel with the egg.
• Sprinkle the apple strudel with white sugar.
• Cut several slits in the apple strudel top to allow steam to escape.
• Put the apple strudel in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
