Variations

To make this delicious apple strudel accommodating for everyone, here are some easy variations 🌱:

Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free puff pastry available at most supermarkets, and make sure your cornstarch is certified gluten-free.

Vegan: Swap the egg yolk in the glaze for a mixture of almond milk and maple syrup, and use a vegan puff pastry. Replace the milk in the glaze with your favorite plant-based milk.

Faq

  • Q: How can I prevent my puff pastry from becoming soggy?

    A: Ensure your apple filling is not too juicy. Cooking the filling with cornstarch helps to eliminate excess moisture.

  • Q: Can I use a different type of nut?

    A: Absolutely! Feel free to substitute with almonds, hazelnuts, or even omit them if you have a nut allergy.

  • Q: How do I know when the strudel is done baking?

    A: The strudel should be a beautiful golden brown color. You can also insert a knife to check if the filling is hot and the pastry is cooked through.

  • Q: What if my glaze doesn’t cover the strudel evenly?

    A: Ensure you thoroughly mix the egg yolk and milk glaze. Use a dedicated pastry brush for even application.

  • Q: How can I add more flavor to the filling?

    A: Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg. A bit of lemon zest can also brighten the flavor.

  • Q: Can I freeze the strudel before baking?

    A: Yes, you can! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. When you're ready to bake, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then bake as directed.
