This puff pastry apple strudel with gingerbread is a quick variation on classic strudel, with grated gingerbread added to the filling. Top the rolled-out pastry with grated apples or pears, rum-soaked raisins, and gingerbread, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and roll it up. Brush the strudel with beaten egg and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) until golden. The gingerbread adds a spicy aroma especially suited to fall and winter days.

Ingredients

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Total preparation time: 35 min
Roll out the puff pastry into a sheet about 0.5 cm thick. Grate the apples or pears, and grate the gingerbread cookie.
Arrange the apples, raisins, and grated gingerbread near one edge of the pastry. Sprinkle the filling with cinnamon sugar and roll up the pastry into a strudel.
Transfer the strudel to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with beaten egg, and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) until golden.

Tip: Use a slightly dried-out gingerbread cookie to make grating easier. Spread it on the pastry first, under the apples, so it absorbs their juices and keeps the bottom of the strudel crisp.
