Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients for making strudel. For the roll you can use ready-made puff pastry without yeast or make it yourself—the choice is yours.

Step 2

Wash the apples, pat dry, cut into quarters and remove the core with seeds. Dice into 1×1 cm cubes. You do not have to peel the apples. This way the apple filling in the strudel will stay in pieces and will not cook down into mush.

Step 3

Transfer the apple cubes into a bowl and sprinkle them with lemon juice so they don't darken. Add the zest there as well. Sort through the lingonberries and remove any small debris. No preliminary defrosting is required. Combine the apples, lingonberries, sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, and mix the filling.

Step 4

Thaw the frozen puff pastry in advance and roll it out into a rectangular sheet 1–2 mm thick. To keep the dough from sticking to the work surface, dust it lightly with cornstarch. It is convenient to roll the dough on a silicone baking mat on which the strudel will be baked.

Step 5

Spread the filling in a mound along the long edge of the rolled-out dough.

Step 6

Using the silicone mat you rolled the dough out on, roll up the roll. Pinch or seal the roll at the ends and place it seam side down. Roll very carefully, because the dough is quite thin and can tear.
