Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C/Gas Mark 5
Apple - Wash, peel, and core the apples. Chop each into half, then quarters, then slice each quarter into three slices.
1 lb Apples
Apple filling - Add all the filling ingredients along with the sliced apples. Stir well to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside.
1 tbsp Lemon juice, ¼ tsp Kosher salt, ¾ cup Brown sugar, ½ tsp Cinnamon, ¼ tsp Nutmeg , ½ cup Chopped Dried fruit , ½ cup Chopped nuts
Puff pastry - Roll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 12 x 12 inches. Dust off the excess flour.
2 sheets Puff pastry
Filling - Divide the apple mixture into two. Pile the apple mixture onto the pastry towards one side, leaving two inches away from the edges so you can fold the sides.
Fold - Wrap the apples in the pastry like a parcel, folding the edges over the apples. Then, roll over and tuck the edges under so the weight of the apples is on top. This will prevent the strudel from opening.
Bake - Place the strudel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam-side down. Brush the top with eggwash, milk, or melted butter. Cut a few slashes on top. Bake on the center rack for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
2 tbsp Eggwash, milk, or melted butter
Cool - Let cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes. Then, immediately transfer to a platter. When cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
2 tbsp Powdered sugar
