Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry dough refrigerated or frozen
- 5 medium apples
- 2 Tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons dried raisins
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar for dusting
- 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour optional, to sprinkle on the work surface if you have to roll out the puff pastry
Instructions
- Get 1 puff pastry dough ready: If you bought the puff pastry frozen, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or at least two hours in advance on the kitchen counter. If the dough has not been flattened, roll it into a 14x10-inch rectangle. Dust the work surface with 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour to prevent the dough from sticking while rolling it out.
- Prep the apples: Peel 5 medium apples using a vegetable peeler. Remove the cores with a core remover. In a medium bowl, shred the apples using the large holes on a hand box grater.
- Begin stacking the layers onto the prepared puff pastry sheet: 1. First, sprinkle the surface of the dough with 2 Tablespoons breadcrumbs. 2. Spread the shredded apples over the breadcrumbs. To do this, scoop the apples into your hand and press them moderately to squeeze out the excess juice. (Tip: Drink the apple juice; it tastes amazing!) Important: Cover only ¾ of the dough lengthwise with apples, leaving ¼ of the dough apple-free on one side. 3. Sprinkle the apples with 2 Tablespoons dried raisins, 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Roll the dough into a strudel shape. Start by rolling from the longer side where the apple filling is, and continue towards the side of the dough where you left a free space.
- Bake the apple strudel. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 °F. Carefully transfer the strudel to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Press the ends of the loaf and tuck them under to prevent the apple juice from leaking out.
- Place the baking sheet with the strudel in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the surface turns golden brown.

Notes
- SERVING:
- Optional:
- The basic recipe makes 1 strudel roll, about 12 slices.
- SERVING: Let the baked puff pastry apple strudel cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes. Then cut it with a sharp knife into angled slices about 2 inches thick, dust their golden crust with powdered sugar and serve your warm strudel as a delicious apple dessert.
- For a special occasion, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or garnish the strudel with whipped cream.
- Optional: Before rolling up the strudel, sprinkle the shredded apple mixture with coarsely chopped walnuts. Some people enjoy the added crunch, while others prefer strudel without nuts; the choice is yours!
- Instead of shredding the apples, slice them into thin pieces. While apple slices may require a bit more effort, they will retain more moisture and result in a juicier filling.
