Ingredients
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus additional for sprinkling
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced or diced
  • 2 tablespoons raisins
  • 1 egg (see Egg-Free Substitute below)
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ½ (17.3-ounce) package puff pastry sheets (1 sheet), thawed
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add the apples and raisins and toss to coat.
  3. Sprinkle the a work surface with flour. Unfold the pastry sheet onto the floured work surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 16x12-inch rectangle.
  4. With the short side of the pastry facing you, spoon the apple mixture onto the bottom half of the pastry sheet to within 1 inch of the edge. Roll the pastry up like a jelly roll.
  5. Place the strudel seam side down onto your prepared baking sheet, and tuck the ends under to seal.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the pastry with the egg mixture.
  7. Cut 4 deep slits in the top of the pastry.
  8. Bake the strudel for 35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
  9. Let the pastry cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
  10. Once cool, sprinkle with the powdered sugar and slice to serve.
Notes
Egg-Free Substitute: You can omit the egg-water wash, but instead brush the pastry with agave nectar, oil, or dairy-free milk beverage. These will each help the exterior brown and crisp.
