Discover how to make this delicious apple strudel dessert at home. The recipe is straightforward and easy to follow, as it doesn’t require any dough or even puff pastry. Yes, you read that right! I will share an extraordinary recipe for apple strudel that features one unusual ingredient.

I love this recipe because you don’t need to knead the dough or thaw puff pastry in advance. The most challenging part is preparing the filling, but the process is quite simple: simply combine apples with sugar in a skillet and cook the mixture until the liquid has evaporated. That’s it! You can use this recipe to make desserts not only with apples but also with other fresh fruits and berries. Don’t forget to add any type of nuts for some crunch and cinnamon for extra aroma. If you’re wondering whether you can use flatbread for the recipe, go ahead— it fits perfectly! Just make sure to choose a plain version without any additional flavors.

Ingredients for Easy Strudel Recipe:

• 4 apples of your choice;
• 3 tbsps. sugar;
• ½ tsp. ground cinnamon;
• 30 g walnuts, chopped;
• 1 sheet of thin flatbread (lavash-like);
• Butter or sour cream for smearing;
• Powdered sugar.

How to make homemade apple strudel:

• Peel apples, get rid of the inside and cut into thin slices. Place sliced apple in the skillet. Sprinkle sugar over them and stir the mixture.

• Stew apples with sugar in the skillet over medium heat until all the juice from apples evaporates. Do not cover the skillet with a lid. When liquid evaporates add cinnamon, take the skillet off the heat, and let it cool down.

• Take a sheet of flatbread and spread over the working surface. Smear the whole sheet with butter. Here is a little tip: to make the process much easier take butter out of the fridge in advance.

• Take the apple filling and spread it evenly on the top of a flatbread. Skip the edges.

• Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the apples.

• Bend the sides of the sheet bread; then roll flatbread into a tight roll. Smear the top of the roll with butter or sour cream.

• Cover a baking tray with a parchment paper before placing strudel. Bake for 20-25 minutes in a preheated oven at 350ºF/180°C until golden crust.

• Cut into desired pieces and sprinkle some powdered sugar over the top before serving! Enjoy with your favorite tea or other hot drink!
