Simple Apple Strudel

This apple strudel recipe is simple and absolutely delicious. All you have to do is wrap puff pastry around a pile of sliced and sugared apples and sprinkle with cinnamon, bake in the oven and enjoy! It’s not necessary to braid the strudels but I think it’s worth it!

This is a fun and easy recipe to enjoy apples all year round! You can get fancy like me and braid the apple strudels or you can skip that step and simply just fold the pastry over and make a few air vent slices with a sharp knife.

No two days are the same for me, the only thing that is consistent is waking up to walk Sophie first thing in the morning.  Sometimes I can sneak in a cup of tea before we head out to start our day. What comes next is always a mystery for me and keeps me on my toes. Running off to a modelling gig, suiting up for set, firing up the oven or scouring the internet for research might all be on my agenda.

The one thing that is always the same is the feeling I have when I’m in the kitchen baking something either new or familiar. The excitement of what is to come and the pure joy of sharing with friends near and dear never disappoints.

It’s possible I romanticize food and the ideas that come with it. Honestly, I take pleasure in that feeling, it gives me joy and if I could continually create moments that surround me with good food, laughter and friendship, I would do it every day!

For a few years now I’ve been wanting to go apple picking but never seem to get the opportunity before the frost comes. I daydream of gathering baskets full of fresh crisp fruit with my nieces and nephew running around the orchard and spending the rest of the day making fun apple treats for the whole family. Instead, I leave the idea for another year and grab a bag from the grocery store. I’ve been wanting to make a simple apple strudel so thought now would be a perfect time.

Ingredients

Apple

I used Cripps Lady apples (otherwise known as Pink Lady) for these individual simple apple strudels. These apples are balanced between sweet, tart, and tannic notes. They will retain their shape when put up against high heat and the best part, they are easily accessible at almost every grocery store. This makes them a perfect choice for baking!

• Puff pastry (two sheets in one box)
• Cripps Pink (Pink Lady) apples
• Granulated sugar & large crystal sugar
• All-purpose flour
• Lemon juice
• Ground cloves
• Ground Cinnamon
• Milk or butter

How To Make Simple Apple Strudels

1. Peel and thinly slice your apples. Toss apples in some lemon juice, add sugar, flour, and ground cloves. Toss to coat.
2. Roll out puffy pastry, cut into 4 even rectangles. Using a knife, mark each rectangle into 3 even sections vertically (do not cut through, just mark as a guideline). On one end make approx. 5 cuts on an angle, do the exact same on the opposite side leaving the centre as a base to fill your apples.
3. Fill the centre with approx. 12-15 apple slices (and spoon a little of that juice too), sprinkle a little cinnamon on top and then fold each cut over each other like a braid. Pinch the ends down and carefully transfer to your baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk or melted butter and sprinkle large crystal sugar on top.
4. Bake in the oven for approx. 20 minutes
