This is a warm, encouraging recipe for classic Apple Strudel, perfect for cozy times or holidays. We share the joy of making this comforting pastry, inspired by our life and love story.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.1 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 medium tart apples (like Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, gently toss the sliced apples with the granulated sugar, cinnamon, raisins, nuts, melted butter, and lemon juice. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Carefully unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry slightly thinner into a rectangle, about 12×14 inches.
  4. Arrange the apple filling in a layer over one half of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  5. Fold the empty half of the pastry over the filling. Crimp the edges firmly to seal the strudel. You can score the top lightly with a knife for steam release.
  6. Brush the entire surface of the strudel with the beaten egg wash.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  8. Let the apple strudel cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  9. Dust generously with powdered sugar before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

  • For a more authentic texture, you can try making hand-stretched dough instead of using puff pastry.
  • If you prefer a glaze instead of powdered sugar, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
  • Soaking the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before mixing them into the filling makes them plump and tender.
