Beer Apple Strudel

by Veronika Why Veronika likes this recipe: “Beer Apple Strudel is my family´s secret recipe. Everyone has a specific reason why they like it: Dad loves it because there is always some beer left after making the strudel, my mother and I enjoy making it, and my brothers love eating it (actually, we all do :)). If you place the Strudel in plastic bag or wrap it in saran wrap and let it sit overnight, it tastes even better the following day.” Strap on your apron, here we go:

Preparation time

20 minutes

Baking time
50 minutes

Serves
6-10 persons

Ingredients
Strudel dough:
400 g plain flour
150 g butter
2 dcl lager (light beer)

Strudel filling:
1kg of apples (you can use more if you want)
Ground Cinnamon
Granulated sugar
Butter
Breadcrumbs
Walnuts, raisins (optional)

Preparation method

Mix flour, butter and beer, place on board and knead until the dough is smooth. Then divide dough into thirds.

How to stretch the dough:

Sprinkle the table lightly with flour and place the dough in the center. With a floured rolling pin, roll out 1/3 of the dough into rectangle. Stretch and pull dough as you go around. The dough should be as thin as possible.

Peel apples and grate them. Spread 1/3 of the grated apples over the dough. Sprinkle the apples with sugar, ground cinnamon, walnuts, raisins and bread crumb. Then put few thin slices of butter on the top. Fold the sides up and over the filling and roll. Put baking paper in baking tin, pick the roll and place it there. Brush the rolls generously. Once all three rolls are ready put them in preheated oven (200°C) and bake them for approx. 50 minutes.

Once the strudels are baked, lightly glaze them with melted butter.

Dobrou chuť!
