Cinnamon-Apple Strudel image

They sold this strudel at a Jewish-Italian Deli that I worked at while going to college. When they closed in the mid 80's, I tried creating a similar version of this deli favorite.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

DOUGH
1 c margarine, softened
2 c flour
1/2 c sour cream
1 egg (yolk only)
FILLING
1 can(s) apple pie filling (cut apples into smaller pieces)
3/4 c pecans
1/2 c raisins
1/2 tsp cinnamon
BRUSH TOP
1 egg white, beaten
GLAZE
confectioners sugar
water

Steps:

  • 1. With pastry blender, cut margarine and flour. Add sour cream and egg yolk. Form soft dough. Divide into two balls. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
  • 2. Take dough out of refrigerator. Let sit a little to soften. It will still be very stiff. Roll out each dough very thin and into oblong shape. (I roll out between floured wax paper). NOTE: This will be making TWO strudels.
  • 3. Mix all of filling ingredients together. Spread filling on dough coming to about an inch from the edge of the dough. Carefully roll into a jelly roll. Repeat with second dough ball.
  • 4. Place both jelly rolls on parchment lined cookie sheet. Cut slits in dough at 1" intervals. Brush tops with egg whites. Bake in 350 oven for 40 minutes.
  • 5. Remove from oven. Cool on pan. Make a thin confectioners glaze and drizzle over strudel. Slice and serve.
