Apple Strudel
This apple strudel recipe is simple and 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.

- puff pastry (two sheets in one box)
- 4 Cripps Pink (Pink Lady) apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- lemon juice
- ground cinnamon
- milk or butter
- large crystal sugar
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Peel and thinly slice your apples, keeping the slices a consistent size. Every so often toss your apples in some lemon juice to keep them from browning/oxidizing.
- Once all apples are sliced and peeled, add sugar, flour, and ground cloves. Toss to coat.
- On a lightly floured work surface roll out your first sheet of 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 (refer to image above).
- 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. Repeat for the remaining pastry.
- Roll out your second sheet of puff pastry and repeat step 5.
- Leave space between each strudel on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk or melted butter and sprinkle large crystal sugar on top.
- Bake in the oven for approx. 20 minutes or until bottoms are browned.
- Enjoy warm.
