Equipment

1 baking tray

Ingredients

550 g shortcrust pastry
1.5 kg red apples
50 g sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 sachet vanila sugar
1 pc lemon juice
50 g bread crumbs
1 pc egg
1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

Peel and grate the apples using a large grater.
Sprinkle the grated apples with lemon juice, add the sugar, vanilla sugar, and two teaspoons of cinnamon. Mix well.
Remove the shortcrust pastry from the package and place it on a work surface dusted with wheat flour.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over both pieces of pastry.
Divide the grated apples in half and spread them over one side of each pastry rectangle, leaving a border.
Squeeze out any excess juice from the apples before placing them on the dough.
Roll up each pastry sheet tightly, enclosing the apple filling. Pinch the edges of the dough to seal them well, preventing the filling from leaking out during baking.
Place the rolls seam-down on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Brush the two rolls with beaten egg and then sprinkle a little brown sugar on top.
Place the baking sheet in the oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake for about 30-40 minutes, starting to check for doneness after 25 minutes.
The strudels are ready when the pastry is golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the strudels cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Instead of just apples, try adding other fruits like pears, berries, or even dried cranberries for a more complex flavour.

If you plan to eat the pastry within a day or two, you can store it at room temperature.
