Apple Strudel Recipe

Apple Strudel Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, raisins, and vanilla extract. Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

2. 2

   Prepare the Pastry

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. Cut each sheet into a rectangle.

3. 3

   Assemble the Strudel

   Place a portion of the apple filling along one edge of the pastry. Drizzle with Frangelico liqueur. Fold the pastry over the filling and roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with beaten egg.

4. 4

   Bake the Strudel

   Place the strudel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with the remaining beaten egg. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

5. 5

   Prepare the Caramel

   While the strudel is baking, make the caramel by heating sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until it melts and turns amber. Remove from heat and carefully add cream, stirring until smooth.

6. 6

   Whip the Cream

   In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and Frangelico liqueur to taste, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

7. 7

   Serve

   Once the strudel is baked, let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with a drizzle of house-made caramel and a dollop of Frangelico whipped cream.
