Apple Strudel | Delicious Apple Dessert Made With Puff Pastry Sheets

Jump to Recipe

Apple strudel made with puff pastry sheets is a quick and easy dessert perfect for any occasion. Making it semi homemade keeps the recipe very simple and perfect for beginners.

In the quest to conquer the abundance of apples in our house, this is yet another recipe that I turned towards. I made this Apple Strudel recipe taking the inspiration from this website which was slightly different from many other recipes that I saw online.

The chef here used peaches and I used apples instead. The recipe I found here is a German method of making the Apple strudels. Adding the walnuts to the strudel gave the recipe a very nice layer of flavor.

The procedure is very simple since we are using the store bought puff pastry sheet. Give it a try and let me know how it worked for you.

Note - The amount of water used to cook quinoa in open pot to Instant pot changes. For open pot method, we use 2 cups of water for every cup of quinoa. In Instant pot we use 1 ½ cups of water for 1 cup of quinoa.

Brushing pastry sheet with egg wash
  • Make several slices on top with a sharp knife for all the steam to escape. (This is very important if you do not want an explosion inside your oven).
Cutting in a slice
  • Put it in the oven and let it bake for about 40 to 45 mins or until golden brown.

Variations

  • This strudel could be made with any fruits like peaches, mixed berries and so on. So whatever is in season use it.
  • This apple strudel recipe could be made eggless by using milk or melted butter as a glaze.
  • Adding a nuts layer gives more texture and flavor to the apple strudel. I have used walnuts in the recipe, but can be swapped with any nuts of your choice. Almonds and pecans work great. The nuts can be skipped as well.

Expert tips

  • Thaw the puff pastry as per the package instructions. If the sheet is too soft or too hard, it will be hard to roll out.
  • Make sure to seal the pastry well after shaping.
  • Slicing the top vents is very crucial. The pastry will need vent when baking.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use homemade pastry sheet to make apple strudel?

Absolutely. If you have a great recipe to make strudel sheet or pastry sheet, use it. The store bought pastry sheet is a quick alternate.

Can I use filo pastry sheet to make apple strudel?

Yes, filo or phyllo sheets can be used. The texture of the strudel will be different and more flaky. Also it needs more patience to use the filo sheets as it could tear easily. Hence I like to make them individual serve size like this Apple Turnovers.
