APPLE STRUDEL WITH PUFF PASTRY RECIPES

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.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice until the apples are thoroughly coated. Add the raisins, 1/4 cup sugar, and the 2 tablespoons cold cubed butter and toss well. Set aside.
• Lightly dust the counter or work surface with flour. Lay the puff pastry on top and dust the rolling pin with additional flour. Gently roll the puff pastry to 1/8-inch thickness.
• Spread the apple and raisin mixture over the bottom half of the puff pastry square leaving about 1-inch of space along the side edges. Fold the top half of the puff pastry over and pinch to seal the edges together.
• Brush the entire strudel with the melted butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon and remaining sugar. Using a serrated knife, make 3 diagonal slits across the top of the strudel.
• Place the strudel on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, rotating halfway through cooking, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
