Homemade Apple Strudels

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • Filling of your choice apple pie filling, blueberry pie filling, etc
  • 4 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 equally sized rectangles. Score the edge of the pastry dough with a knife, leaving a 1/4″ rim around the outside. Using a fork, prick holes in the inside of the scored line. (See pictures in blog post)
  • Bake in the oven for 8 minutes. Remove. Using the back of a spoon, press down the center of the pastry. Where you scored it earlier will allow it to sink down while the edges remain risen – creating a pocket.
  • Divide the apple pie filling evenly between the puff pastry rectangles. Bake for another 8-10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, & vanilla together until creamy. Add more milk if it’s needed. It should be able to be drizzled easily.
  • After the pastries have cooled for 5 minutes, drizzle with the cream cheese glaze. Serve.

To freeze:

  • After baking with the filling, lay on a baking sheet & place in the freezer to freeze. Once frozen, place in a single layer in a container or freezer bag. To cook, take one out and place in toaster oven til warm. Frost if desired.
