Gosh, its time to have something sweet ! I'm almost stressed out for past few weeks and I am desperate for something sweet to gain back my energy & also the BIG smile on my face. What an excuse ! Oh well, we ladies always have such terrific excuses to pamper ourselves.
haha..... Me & my kids are big fan of this delicious apple strudel.or
apfelstrudel in German. Apple strudel is the national dish of Austria and it's a very popular pastry in many countries in Europe as well. Nowadays, it's too became such an addictive desserts at most Malaysian's home. And I am honoured bringing it to my home as well. Remember
the last one I made was with apples & nectarine fillings but with Chinese pastry. And this round I'm going to use western pastry for the crust.
And here's what I did.
Ingredients for
apple fillings :
8 large green apples, diced
3/4 cup raisins
1 lemon juice & rinds
1 lime juice & rinds
1 cup brown sugar
1 tspn cinnamon powder
1 tspn nutmeg powder
2 TB all purpose flour (optional)
8 slices large soda cracker, finely crushed
(combine everything and mixed well, set aside)
Ingredients for
pastry crust :
1 recipe of
pastry crust from here.
Preferably kept refrigerated overnight.
* 1 egg, beaten for glazing, or my other
pastry crust from here
Method :
(1) roll pastry dough into really thin pastry sheet around 13x30", divide into 3 portions.
(2) spread in apple fillings to pastry sheets, roll each up & wrapped nicely.
(3) place filled up pastry to a slightly greased baking tray then brushed on egg glazing.
(4) finally, bake at preheated oven 190'C for about 40-45 minutes.
(5) leave cool then sprinkle on icing sugar & serve.
Ooooo....here comes the nicely baked apple strudel ! Look awesome. Isn't it ?
Hooray ! I'm really glad the pastry works well at last. The layering turns up so beautifully. Such a great satisfaction. Hope you guys have a fabulous week ahead.
