Puff Pastry Walnut Apple Strudel

This Puff Pastry Walnut Apple Strudel is made with a Walnut Raisin Apple filling and doesn't get a soggy bottom because of my secret ingredient!

📝 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup raisins
• 2 medium apples
• 1/4 cup sugar (+ 1 tsp)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup walnuts (coarsely chopped)
• 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs (or other digestive biscuits)
• 1 tsp rum
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2.5 tbsp butter
• 1 sheet puff pastry
• 1 lime
• 1 egg

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 360F (180C) with the baking sheet inside.
2. 2Peel and core the apples. Cut them into quarters and thinly slice them.
3. 3Combine the apple slices, 1/4 cup sugar, rum, lime juice, chopped walnuts, vanilla extract, and raisins in a small bowl.
4. 4Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Add the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and 1 tbsp sugar. Increase the temperature to a medium heat and toast the mixture for 1 minute.
5. 5Add half of the graham cracker crumbs mixture to the apple slices.
6. 6Sprinkle flour on your work surface. Unfold the puff pastry sheet and roll the pastry sheet into a 16 x 12-inch rectangle. With the long side facing you, spread the rest of the graham cracker crumb mixture evenly onto the middle third of the puff pastry sheet. Leave 1.5 inches of the side empty.
7. 7Spoon the apple mixture onto the crumbs and fold the lower half over the apple mixture. Then fold over the top half and tuck it under to seal the roll. Also, tuck the ends under to seal.
8. 8Brush the pastry with the egg mixture and cut several slits in the top of the pastry.
9. 9Transfer the apple strudel to the hot baking sheet in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes until the apple strudel is golden brown.
10. 10Serve warm with whipped cream, vanilla sauce, or vanilla ice cream. You can also sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
