Ingredients
- For the Dough:
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup warm water (60 ml)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (162 g)
- Pinch of salt
- For the Filling:
- 2 cups apples, thinly sliced (about 2–4 apples depending on size)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup raisins (40 g)
- 1/4 cup almond slices (28 g)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (100 g)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 whole egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons Turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, warm water, and olive oil. Add the flour and a pinch of salt, and whisk until almost fully combined. Then knead the dough until it forms a cohesive ball. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit for 45 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice. Add the raisins, almond slices, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Assemble the Strudel: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper, roll the dough into an 11×17-inch rectangle. Using a pairing knife, score the pastry into 3 columns without cutting all the way through. The center column should be slightly wider than the two edge columns. Cut the side columns into equal strips using a sharp knife or pastry wheel.
- Fill and Fold: Place the apple filling in the center column of the dough. Fold the top and bottom of the dough over the filling to seal it in. Wrap the filling by folding alternate strips of the dough over the center, pressing to seal the edges and ensuring there are no gaps.
- Brush and Bake: Whisk together the remaining egg and water, and brush it over the top of the strudel. Sprinkle the top with Turbinado sugar for a nice crunch and golden finish. Lift the parchment paper and carefully transfer the strudel to a large baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pastry is crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and/or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
