Apple strudel is an immortal classic in the Czech Republic. Today we look at a slightly unconventional recipe that will let you taste apples prepared in the oven in a completely new way. Believe us, you haven’t tasted such a tender and delicious apple dessert before. We guarantee that once you try this recipe, you won’t want to make any other apple treat. Moreover, the preparation is very simple and even an inexperienced cook can manage it.
What will you need?
The dessert consists of two parts, the dough and the apple filling. For the filling you only need 1.5 to 2 kg of apples, which you grate and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon to taste. Add lemon juice as well so the apples are not only sweet, and also thanks to the lemon juice they won’t brown and spoil right away. For the dough itself you only need basic ingredients that will surprise no one:
- 50 dkg of flour
- 1 packet of baking powder,
- 20 dkg of fat
- 15 dkg of powdered sugar,
- 2 egg yolks
- grated zest of 1 lemon,
- if the dough doesn’t come together, add a little cold lemon water.
Method of preparation
First of all, remember that you don’t need to steam the apples for this recipe. It is completely sufficient to grate them, season them with sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice and let them stand. Then you must squeeze them well. Prepare the dough simply by mixing all the ingredients together. The dough must be smooth and homogeneous. Then roll it out into two equally sized sheets, between which you will then place the apple mixture.
Sprinkle the first base with breadcrumbs and spread the filling of the squeezed apples on it. Cover it with the second sheet of dough and brush with beaten egg whites or melted and cooled butter. You must, however, reckon that with the fat the dough will crumble more. You must estimate the baking time according to your own oven. However, you should bake the dessert at 180 degrees until it acquires a beautiful golden color. Enjoy your meal!
