Apple Strudel in Puff Pastry

INGREDIENTS

• 1 roll of rectangular puff pastry; 
• 50 g of brown sugar;
• 3 apples;
• 50 g butter;
• The juice of half a lemon;
• 50 g of pine nuts;
• 90 g of sultanas;
• 40 g of breadcrumbs;
• 1 level teaspoon of ground cinnamon;
• Jam (I like apricot jam);
• To brush:
• 1 egg yolk and milk to taste

STEP

1.  To begin, place the raisins in cold water for a few minutes;
2. Wash, clean and cut the apples into small pieces, place them in a bowl;
3. After that take half a lemon, squeeze it and pour it over the apples;
4. Add the sugar, pine nuts, raisins (well squeezed) and cinnamon to the apples and mix everything well;
5. Set aside;
6. Take a pan, pour in the butter and melt it;
7. Then pour in the breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring often to prevent them from burning;
8. Turn off and set aside;
9. Take the puff pastry roll, unroll it and then spread a thin layer of jam with a brush;
10. Spread the toasted breadcrumbs in the centre of the puff pastry then pour in the filling, taking care to leave a couple of cm from the edges;
11. Close the puff pastry by rolling it up on itself to form our Strudel;
12. Seal the edges well, prick the surface again with a fork, then brush with the egg yolk, sprinkle generously with granulated sugar and bake at 180 degrees (preheated oven) for 30 minutes;
13. Once ready, take the apple strudel out of the oven and sprinkle with plenty of icing sugar;
14. Allow to cool completely;
15. Now we can slice and enjoy our puff pastry strudel… too GOOD!
