APPLE STRUDEL
If you find making apple pie too fiddly then give this apple strudel a go instead. With a few simple ingredients you can create this comforting dessert that always goes down a treat. I love to serve this dessert warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
Ingredients:
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, just thawed
3 cooking apples (I like to use Granny Smiths)
1/4 cup (55g) brown sugar
1 tsp cornflour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp raisins (optional)
milk to brush (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grease a baking tray and line with baking paper.
Place the pastry onto the prepared tray. Peel and grate the apples, then use your hands to squeeze the excess juice into a glass (it's delicious to drink, so don't waste it)!
Place the apples into a bowl then add the sugar, cornflour, cinnamon and raisins, if using. Mix to combine.
Spoon the apple mixture evenly over one half of the pastry, leaving a 1cm border on 3 sides. Fold the other half of the pastry over the apples and press or crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top with a little milk if desired. Prick the top of the pastry with a fork 4-5 times to allow the steam to escape.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the pastry is golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
