Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 120 ml Lukewarm water
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 500 g Apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 80 g Raisins
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 50 g Walnuts, finely chopped
- 30 g Butter (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg, lukewarm water, and melted butter. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball, cover with cling film, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In another bowl, combine the sliced apples, raisins, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and chopped walnuts.
Roll out the dough on a large, floured kitchen towel or parchment paper, stretching it carefully until it is very thin and transparent.
Brush the dough with half of the melted butter (30g).
Spread the apple mixture evenly over two-thirds of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Using the towel or parchment paper to help, gently roll the dough from the side where the filling is, tucking in the edges as you go, to form a log shape.
Place the strudel seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the top with the remaining melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
