Apple strudel is one of the desserts I like the most. Maybe because of its simple ingredients or because it doesn’t require particular procedures to make, it’s one of those desserts you decide to make at any moment, when you want to indulge yourself a bit.
Tonight, I really needed it!
It was still warm, and I couldn’t resist!

Preparation
Making apple strudel is very simple and doesn’t require special procedures, especially if you use ready-made puff pastry.
I recommend using the rectangular type and taking it out of the fridge before starting to prepare the apple strudel.
In the meantime, prepare the apples. Remove the peel and cut them into cubes. Put them in a saucepan with about 3.4 fl oz of water, 3 sachets of brown sugar (alternatively use the same amount of granulated sugar), 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and the juice of half a lemon. Cook for about 10-15 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Now prepare the pastry. Unroll it, keeping its parchment paper. Press outwards with your fingers across the entire surface to stretch it more.
Transfer it onto a baking sheet and proceed with the filling.
Spread the surface with apricot jam, then dust with breadcrumbs across the entire surface and finally distribute the seasoned apples. Add the raisins and pine nuts.
Roll the pastry from the long side inward. To avoid the “wallet” effect when it puffs up, you can roll it halfway from both sides so that the end part remains inside.
Score the surface and brush with butter, then bake in a static oven for about 30 minutes at 356 degrees Fahrenheit.
The apple strudel is ready!
Now you need to let it cool and then cover it with powdered sugar.
I’m a sweet tooth and often accompany it with whipped cream and crumbled dark chocolate, but I assure you it’s delicious as it is!
