Apple Strudel Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 sheets of puff pastry
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 large cooking apples
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon rind
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 tablespoon dried cranberry
• 15g butter
• 1/2 white breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• Method:
• Peel, core and slice apples thinly. Mix apple slices into bowl with sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon rind and cranberry. Allow to stand for about 30 minutes then drain off excess liquid from apples.
• Melt butter in a pan, add breadcrumbs, stir over low heat until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Let cool a bit and mix the crumbs with the brown sugar.
• Lay a sheet of pastry onto the chopping board, sprinkle 1/3 of the breadcrumb mix over the pastry. Spoon apple mixture along one end of pastry and brush some egg wash toward the end edge. Fold in sides of pastry to edge of apple filling, then carefully roll up the strudel.
• Repeat the procedure for the rest of the pastries. Brush egg over the strudels and bake in 230c hot oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. When cold, dust with icing sugar and cut into thick slices.
