Strudel made from ready-made puff pastry with apple
Origin of the recipe
In German, strudel means "whirlwind." This roll of very thin pastry with apple filling is one of the hallmarks of Viennese bakeries, although historians claim its ancestor may have been the Hungarian retes roll, which in turn was related to Turkish baklava. Puff pastry strudel, especially ready-made, is a simple yet elegant option for tea.

Step 7:
Roll the roll, pinching the edges well.
Step 8:
Brush the strudel with egg or yolk and bake in a preheated oven at 180-200 degrees for about 35-40 minutes.
Step 9:
Whip the cold cream until stiff.
Step 10:
Cut the strudel into portions, sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with salted caramel and top with whipped cream.
Cooking tips
Don't sprinkle the apples with sugar beforehand—they'll release juice and make the dough soggy. It's better to use brown sugar.
You can add a little starch or flour to the filling to bind excess moisture.
Strudel can also be baked in a multicooker or air fryer on the “Bake” mode; the temperature and cooking time are the same.
