Homemade Apple Strudel

Apple Strudel, one of the few German foods that I really like. At this time of the year, our backyard is overflowing with the Granny Smith Apples. So I am trying to make every possible desserts with apples and nothing can be better than Apple Strudel made at home

I have visited Germany and Austria for work in the past and of course ventured German food as much as possible. But honestly, I am fond of only a handful of German foods and off course Apple Strudel is at the top of the list. So here is my best attempt to make Apple Strudel with our backyard bounties and it came out exceptionally good. So documenting the recipe and sharing it.

Step 1: Cook the apples

To make the Apple Strudel, first make the apple filling and cool it down. To make the apple filling, peel and cut the apples, add sugar, water, butter, kosher salt, ground cinnamon and cook it for 10 -15 min, until the apple is soft. Now keep the cooked apple aside and let it cool down

Step 2: Make the puff  pastry ready

Take 2 sheets of puff pastries and place it on a lightly floured surface. Now using a rolling pin, expand the sheets by 15%. Add the cooked apples on the middle one third of the puff pastry sheet. Cut horizontal pieces on the side one thirds of the puff pastry sheets. Roll the cut pieces over the apple to cover the entire apple filling. Brush a beaten egg on top of the pastries.

Step 3:  Bake the Pastries

Heat oven at 375 degree F and heat the pastries for 40 minutes

Step 4: Glaze the pastries

Melt 4 tbsp butter in microwave. Now add vanilla, confectioner sugar, pinch of salt and milk and heat the mixture on the stove top until the sugar melts. Now add the glaze over the baked pastries and serve.
