apple-strudel

 A winter favourite for all the family!

Ingredients:

1 x sheet puff pastry (carême pastry has the nicest ingredients, otherwise homemade!)

3 x  organic apples

2-4 tbs Brown sugar (depends how sweet you like)

1 tbs flour (spelt, buckwheat)

2 tbs sourdough breadcrumbs

1/2 cup of Organic Walnuts

1 Tbs Cinnamon 

Method

1. Apple Filling

*Chop apples into small pieces and put them in a medium bowl. Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, flour, cinnamon, and toss well. Let the apple sit for 15 minutes to macerate. 

2. Nut Filling

*Chop walnuts into desired size. Mix walnuts, 1-2 tbs sugar and breadcrumbs in a small bowl, stir well. Step

3. Making Strudel with Puff Pastry

* Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface to stretch out a little.

* Place the nut mixture in the centre third of the pastry.

* Spoon the apple mixture on top of nut mixture.

* Lift the front side of pastry and fold over the filling.

* Lift the opposite side of pastry and fold over. Pinch the sides down to seal.

* Carefully transfer the strudel to a prepared baking sheet lined with baking paper. Tuck both ends under. Make slits for the steam to escape.

Step 4. Bake and Sprinkle

* Bake the strudel in a preheated 180˚C oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Let the pastry cool for 10 minutes on a cooling rack.

* Serve warm with your favourite cream, yoghurt or ice cream.
