Apple Strudel (Apfelstrudel)

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 4 large apples, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a bowl, mix apples, sugar, raisins, cinnamon, and breadcrumbs.
3. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle.
4. Spread the apple mixture over two-thirds of the pastry, leaving a border around the edges.
5. Fold the empty third of the pastry over the filling, then carefully roll up the strudel like a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
6. Place on a baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush with the beaten egg.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
8. Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and slicing.
