Every year, my boyfriend and his friends host a small Oktoberfest. The boys make vats of potato salad, sauerkraut, and sausages. My contribution is strudel. I made 3 different kinds today, the possibilities are endless on flavor.
Bake them in disposable pans if you are taking them somewhere, otherwise, a cookie sheet will be just fine!
Cream Cheese Strudel
Apple Strudel (I'll glaze it in a bit, it is fresh out of the oven)
Cherry Strudel
Cream Cheese Strudel Filling
16 oz cream cheese
1 egg
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1 TBS lemon juice
Mix all ingredients together. This amount will make 2 strudels.
Fruit Flavored Fillings
1 can of desired flavor pie filling
Drizzle Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 TBS milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Stir together and drizzle on top of cooled Strudel.
Crust
Puff pastry sheets, from your grocer's freezer!
1 egg - beaten
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Place one thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out a bit thinner, making it about an inch wider and two inches longer. Spread your filling across 2/3rds of the sheet of puff pastry (long-ways). Roll the puff pastry up with the seam on the bottom and place onto your baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, cut slits about an inch apart all the way down the strudel. Brush with the beaten egg, bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool and drizzle with glaze.
