Thanks to the step-by-step instructions, apple strudel is easy to make:
Preheat the oven to 180 °C top/bottom heat.
For the strudel dough:
Sift flour into a bowl and add a pinch of salt.
Add oil and lukewarm water and knead into a smooth dough.
Form the dough into a ball, brush with a little oil and let it rest, covered, for about 30 minutes.
For the apple filling:
Peel the apples, core them and cut them into thin slices.
Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Add sugar, cinnamon, chopped nuts and optional raisins and mix well.
Roll out the strudel dough very thinly on a floured work surface until it is almost transparent.
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the rolled out dough, leaving some space at one end to seal the strudel.
Brush the edges of the dough with melted butter.
Carefully roll up the dough from the filled side until a compact roll is formed.
Seal the ends tightly and place the strudel, seam side down, on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake the apple strudel in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30-40 minutes, until crispy.
For the vanilla sauce:
Heat milk in a saucepan.
Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp.
Add the pulp and pod to the milk and bring to the boil briefly.
In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until creamy.
Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly.
Pour the mixture back into the pot and let it thicken over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a creamy consistency.
Cut the apple strudel into slices and serve warm with the homemade vanilla sauce.
Bon appetit!
