Equipment

  • Bakinf sheet
  • Oven
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients

  • 1 box Puff pastry sheet (2 sheets)
  • 3 Tablespoon Apple Jam
  • 3 Tablespoon Strawberry Jam
  • 2 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoon Heavy cream (can use egg wash)

To make icing/drizzle

  • 1 Cup Powdered sugar/confectionary sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 ½ Tablespoon Heavy cream (can be substituted with milk)

Instructions

  • Thaw the puff pastry sheet as instructed on the box. It is very important to thaw the sheets perfectly.
    1 box Puff pastry sheet
  • Add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to each of the jams and mix well. Skip this step if not using cornstarch.
    3 Tablespoon Apple Jam, 3 Tablespoon Strawberry Jam, 2 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Layer a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat. I like to layer mine just in case there is an accident when baking and the jam seeps out.
  • Once thawed, open the sheets and separate them. Slightly roll the sheets to make them even and then cut each sheet into 6. This will make 3 strudels. Repeat the same with the other sheet.
    1 box Puff pastry sheet
  • Spread about 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of jam filling in the center of half the sheets. Leave about ¼ inch space on all sides.
    3 Tablespoon Apple Jam, 3 Tablespoon Strawberry Jam
  • Brush the sides with heavy cream or egg wash.
    2 Tablespoon Heavy cream
  • Now place the other half of the sheets over the layered ones and press it to seal. Use a fork to gently crimp the sheets to seal them well.
  • Place the prepared toaster strudel onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the pastries with heavy cream or egg wash.
  • Bake them in the preheated 400 F oven for about 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

To make the icing

  • When the toaster strudel is baking, prepare the icing. Mix about ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract with 1 cup of confectionary sugar and mix well.
    ½ teaspoon Vanilla, 1 Cup Powdered sugar/confectionary sugar
  • Slowly add about 1 to 1 /2 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk and whisk well. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk. I like to keep my icing a little thicker.
    1 ½ Tablespoon Heavy cream
  • Place the icing in a small plastic bag. I use a ziplock bag. Seal the bag and then snip a tiny hole in a corner to squeeze out the icing over the toaster strudels.
  • Once the toaster strudels come out of the oven, let them cool down a bit on a wire rack.
  • Then drizzle the icing over the strudels and enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips
  • Choose a good quality puff pastry sheet when making homemade toaster strudels. If you don't have access to store-bought puff pastry sheets, you could make your own as well.
  • Roll the puff pastry sheet evenly so they bake uniformly.
  • Do not overfill the toaster strudels. I am guilty of doing this often and ending up with an overly sweet pastry. Also many times, my filling seeps out when baking.
  • If your kitchen is warm and the toaster strudels become very soft, place the shaped ones in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes and then bake.
  • After baking, let the toaster strudels cool a little before drizzling the icing.
