Method · 1 h
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C in advance. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Wash the apples, peel them, remove the cores and grate them coarsely.
- Sprinkle the grated apples with vanilla sugar and ground cinnamon and mix. If the apples are very juicy, add starch.
- Divide the puff pastry into two parts. Lightly dust the work surface with flour and roll each part of the dough into a sheet.
- Divide the apple mixture evenly between both sheets of dough. Carefully roll the dough into strudels and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
- Crack the eggs into a cup, whisk with a fork and brush the surface of the strudels with it.
- Pierce the strudel in several places with a fork so that it does not crack during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25–30 minutes.
- Let the finished strudel cool briefly and serve.
