Austrian Apple Strudel

 


This is one of those apple recipes that’s perfect for the holiday season, or the fall apple season. The best thing about this easy apple strudel recipe is that it’s not only delicious, it’s quick and easy to make.


This recipe was first presented to me by my mother. She made the puff pastry from scratch and placed chopped nuts with butter between each layer. This is, however, a shortcut.

For topping:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ cup chopped pecans

For filling:
3 pounds Honeycrisp or Jonagold apples (about 6 medium), peeled
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons milk

Dusting
Powdered sugar

Defrost the puff pastry. Lay a layer of puff pastry on your work surface, cover with the mixture, then roll it up. Apply topping. Bake as directed until golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar when cool.
