Cinnamon Apple Strudel

Ingredients:

385 gm can of pie apples
1/4 cup (50 gm) packed light brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed in the fridge
1 egg whisked with 2 tbsp of water, for brushing
Raw sugar, for sprinkling

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 C (180 C f/f), and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Toss the apples with the brown sugar and cinnamon, and set aside.

3. Place the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured work surface, and roll it, if needed, to a 250mm square. Cut a rectangle that is 100mm x 250mm, and place this on the prepared baking tray and brush it with egg wash. Cut a second rectangle that is 115mm x 250mm, and return it to the fridge to keep cold. Cut the remaining pastry dough into 6mm strips. Place the strips on the base of the strudel, on its outside edges. Brush with the egg wash. (This creates a frame to hold in the apple mixture.) Spoon the apple mixture into the centre of this.

4. Pull the top portion of the pastry from the fridge, and make parallel slits 15mm apart. Place this over the apple mixture, seal the edges, brush with the egg wash, and sprinkle with the raw sugar.

5. Bake the strudel for 10 minutes at 200 C, reduce the oven temperature to 190 C, and bake for a further 20 to 25 minutes, until it is a rich golden brown.

That looks delicious you know I have only started using canned pie apples in the last 12 months but only for certain recipes . Also good for cooking when apples are high in price

I love that apple strudel, would only use apples from scratch, add cinnamon and lemon juice while cooking the apples . Do not add sugar as the apples are sweet enough on it’s own. I used once apples from a tin and they often add the whole apple in it, including seeds and the core and it put me off . At least with fresh apples you know what you get . Do not use cream or anything else , I like the natural taste . Thanks for sharing .

It might not look as attractive but it would be easier to lay the square on the baking tray, fill down the centre then fold over the edges to the middle, and seal the ends with the egg wash.
