Here’s what you’ll need to make authentic German strudel: – 1 pound of puff pastry dough – 1 pound of apples (peeled and thinly sliced) – 1/4 cup of sugar – 1 teaspoon of cinnamon – 1/4 cup of raisins (optional) To make the strudel filling, simply mix together the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and raisins (if using).
Roll out thawed puff pastry into a large rectangle, about 12x16 inches. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the bottom half of the long side of the puff pastry. Leave a 1-inch border around the outside edge. As pictured below, fold in the short sides of the dough, then roll up the strudel like you would a jelly roll.
Frozen puff pastry makes a great alternative to making homemade strudel dough - a long and somewhat difficult process of stretching the dough thin enough to read through and big enough to cover a table. Do read what Oma Says below! Just as with other recipes with apples, the type of apple to use depends on what you like. I like using a tart apple.
I always use a mix of apples, but Granny Smith, honey crisp, envy, pink lady, and golden delicious are my go-to choices usually. My strudel dough was hard as heck too! I kept adding a little more water at a time & kneading it. It stretched fine afterwards.
