How to make a crispy apple strudel
To prepare two loaves of tender apple strudel, you will need the following ingredients:
- For the dough: 300 g plain flour, 2 egg yolks, 250 g butter and 2 tablespoons cold water.
- For the filling (according to taste and need): apples, raisins, chopped nuts, a little ground cinnamon, melted butter and breadcrumbs for sprinkling.
- Then 1 egg to brush the strudels before baking.
- Sift the flour into a bowl and grate the butter into it. Knead the mixture lightly with your fingers, add the egg yolks and water. Knead a soft dough, wrap it in a bag and let it rest in the fridge.
- Meanwhile, peel and roughly grate the apples. Also, preheat the oven to 180 °C.
- Roll out 2 sheets of the rested dough. Sprinkle each sheet with a little breadcrumbs and spread the apples on top.
- Drizzle the apples with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon, raisins and chopped nuts. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs again and drizzle with butter.
- Fold the edges of the dough into a strudel. Press the ends and joints well so that the apple juice does not leak out. This dough is not wrapped like a classic strudel, it is simply folded over the apples, the joint is closed tightly with your fingers and the strudel is placed seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. The ends of the legs are also folded closed.
- Prick the trousers on the baking sheet with a fork and brush both rolls with beaten egg.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes.
Tip: Do you have small schoolchildren at home? Then divide the dough into several smaller sheets, from which you can bake tiny rolls just big enough to fit in your hand. You will definitely be a hit with this snack.
Pies are a perfectly variable delicacy – in addition to apples, they can be filled with cottage cheese and various small fruits, but also with savory fillings. In short, there are no limits to imagination and flavors. We wish you much success in the kitchen and bon appetit.
