Cooking

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for making apple strudel with puff pastry. Defrost the puff pastry so it's easy to work with. I use yeast-free puff pastry, but you can also use puff pastry with yeast, which will have a slightly different texture but will still be delicious. 500 grams of dough will make two sheets. The amount of ingredients is for two small strudels.

2. Soak the raisins in boiling water for 10 minutes. Then drain the water, and lay the raisins on paper towels to dry.

3. Peel the apples and slice them into thin wedges.

4. Mix the apples with raisins, add lemon juice, vanilla sugar, starch, cinnamon, and sugar.

5. Mix the filling well.

6. Roll out the puff pastry as thin as possible. Ideally, it should be thin enough to almost see the work surface through it.

7. Spread half of the filling along one side of the dough, leaving about 2 cm from the edge.

8. Fold the side edges over to keep the filling inside during baking, ensuring it remains juicy.

9. Roll the dough into a tight log. Make cuts on top. Repeat the process for the second strudel.

10. Transfer the strudels onto foil or parchment, brush with beaten egg, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.

11. Once baked, sprinkle the strudels with powdered sugar and decorate as desired.

Enjoy making this apple strudel with puff pastry, and have a wonderful tea time!
