Apple Strudel

Hello my friends, good day to you!

Time pass real fast and it is already Saturday.  What do you intend to do today?  Out grocery shopping or stay at home?  Hmm....weekend usually is crowded at the supermarket/shopping centres.  To me, I rather stay home and catch some movies!

Staying at home means I need to make something to eat while watching TVJust wanted to clear some apples away in my fridge; hence, I have made this Apple Strudel!

 
 APPLE STRUDEL
 
Ingredients
1 sheet store bought puff pastry
   
Filling
4 or 5 apples, (I used Granny Smith), peeled and slice
25g butter
100g brown sugar
40g raisins
½ tsp cinnamon powder
some toasted walnuts, chopped to small
2 tbsp plain flour 
1 small egg for egg wash

To make the Filling
Heat up frying pan and melt in the butter and sugar.  Add in apple slices and raisins.
Stir fry the apples till tender and soft.  Add in the cinnamon powder and flour to 
thicken it.  Dish up and let cool.

Place pastry on a baking sheet with greased proof paper.

Spoon mixture down center of dough and sprinkle the walnuts all over. Cut slits in dough 1 inch apart lengthwise down each side of filling. Brush each 1-inch dough strip with beaten egg and fold over dough. 
 
Brush top of pastry with remaining egg and sprinkle with reserved sugar mixture. Bake at preheated oven 180C for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm, or allow to cool before serving.





 You may serve this with some ice cream together.....taste real delicious!

  1. Mel, I love apple strudel!! A few years ago my brother went to Australia (can't remember which part) and when he came back he brought back a few of the famous apple strudel. Wallah! I fell in love with it. OK, when going grocery shopping I must look for puff pastry and apples :) Your apple strudel is so golden brown and delicious!

    2. PH, the one you mentioned should be Corica apple strudel. I brought back a dozen when I last visited Perth.

  3. Mel, I must say, ur apple strudel ingredients sounds lots better than the famous "C" one. Really, ur apple strudel has such a nice combination of flavours and the outlook of the puff pastry is shiny n golden in colour.

  5. i really love how your puff pastries turn out after baking. Can i know what brand of puff pastry is this? so far i only baked with puff pastry once or twice..cant remember and sometimes i dont wish that they puffed up so much..depends what i'm making. do you normally need to roll the pastry thinner before putting in the filling? thanks.

    1. Hi Lena
      The brand I usually used is Pampas Puff Pastry (Australia brand). A pack of 6 pieces 10" x 10"..and no it doesnt need to roll. Last time Tesco selling this brand and maybe you can check out at your area if not you can get another brand, Kawanku...also in 10" x 10".

    2. Oh....just found out ....the local puff pastry brand is "Kawan"..... not kawanku!

  6. Oh Mel,
    I love apple strudel too. Look like the 'C' brand is really famous. I have tasted from 'C' too. Agreed with Li Shuan, yours definitely look prettier and more inviting.
    Looking at yours I am drooling :p
    mui..^^

    1. Hi sonia
      I bought this Pampas puff pastry at Cold Storage. Tesco used to sell this brand but now I cant find it anymore/either sold out or no longer selling this brand. U can always get the local brand Kawan ; same size.

  8. Hi Mel,

    You have made your strudel very well and I can't stop staring at the picture that has the slice of your strudel and the fork.

    I guess that I'm hoping to pick up the fork and have a bite of the strudel... I guess that I have to stop dreaming now :p *Wake up! Zoe*

  12. What a lovely strudel, Mel. I know that apples are available all year round but something about them makes them so perfect for autumn. You are right, the strudel calls for ice cream.
