Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

5 apples, peeled and sliced
100 g caster sugar
2 T ground cinnamon
40 g raisins, marinated in rum for a few hours (optional)
100 g walnuts, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
400 g ready-made puff pastry
cake flour, to dust
50 g breadcrumbs
1 free-range egg, beaten
icing sugar, to dust

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, caster sugar, cinnamon, raisins (if using) and walnuts. Addlemon juice to taste.

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Cover the middle third of the pastry with breadcrumbs and top with the apple mixture.

Fold one side of the pastry onto the apples and brush with a little beaten egg, then fold over the other side to seal the parcel.

Transfer the strudel to a shallow baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush it with the remaining egg and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden.

Serve dusted with icing sugar.
