Viennese Apple Strudel Recipe
Strudel Filling Ingredients
- 1 pound Puff Pastry
- 7 Medium Peeled Tart Apples (Boskoop, Granny Smith)
- 1/2 pound Reg butter
- 1/2 pound Ground Almonds or Hazelnuts
- 1/2 pound Icing Sugar
- 1/2 t Almond Extract
- 1 T Lemon Juice
- Raisins
- Cinnamon
Prepare filling
Melt butter in a saucepan or in the micro wave. Add ground nuts, icing sugar, extract and lemon juice. Stir well. If the mixture is too runny, just add more nuts and sugar.
On a floured work surface, roll out thawed puff pastry to about ⅛ inch. Spread filling on dough, leaving a ½ inch on sides and on bottom uncovered. You may not need all the filling. Just reserve the rest in a plastic container in the refrigerator or freezer. Slice apples onto the filling with a mandolin slicer. Sprinkle raisins and a generous amount of cinnamon on top. Roll up Strudel from top to bottom, jelly roll style, into a long loaf, securing ends by pressing each end together. Place on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Bake in a 400 F oven for about 40 minutes to one hour. Let cool. Cut into 2-inch slices. Sprinkle with icing sugar.
Serve traditionally with whipped cream or vanilla sauce. As dessert you can also add some Vanilla ice cream. Yum!
