Why You’ll Love Puff Pastry Strudel
This Puff Pastry Strudel is seriously 💯 impressive-looking. It practically sparkles on the plate thanks to the beautiful shine of the sugar on top. It’s so flaky and crispy and perfectly golden brown. The filling is the best of an 🍎 apple pie: sweet from the brown sugar, earthy and warm with cinnamon and features the beautiful bite from the tender apples. Whether you bring it to a friend’s house for a dinner party or just want to nibble on it at home through the week, it’s utterly delicious.
How to Prepare Puff Pastry Studel
🔪 Use a sharp knife to thinly slice 4 to 5 apples ( I used a mix of Golden Delicious and Pink Lady). 🧈 Start by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. 🍎 Then add the apples, sugar, and cinnamon and stir. Cook for 5-7 minutes until soft, but not mushy. 🔥 Now add the flour and cook it off for a few seconds. 🥣 Transfer the apple mixture to a big bowl or spread onto a baking dish to fully cool. 🌡️ When the apple filling is cool, preheat the oven to 400F (200C) and take out your puff pastry from the fridge. 🧑🍳 Lightly flour your surface and place the puff pastry sheet on top. 🌀 Roll it out just an inch on each side and then transfer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 🍎 Pour out the cold apple filling into the middle of the pastry and spread it out leaving just an inch on each side. 🤏 Fold the sides over and pinch the ends. 🖌️ Flip it over gently, cut a few slits with a knife and brush the top of the strudel with melted butter. ⏲️ Sprinkle on some sugar and bake the Puff Pastry Strudel for 35-40 minutes or until golden. Let it cool, slice and enjoy.
