Learn how to make this delicious apple strudel dessert at home. The recipe is very simple and easy to replicate, as there is no dough or even puff pastry used. Yes, I am not kidding! I will share with you an extraordinary recipe for Apple Strudel with one unusual ingredient.
I love this recipe, as you do not need to knead the dough or thaw puff pastry in advance. The most difficult part is to make the filling. However, the process itself is pretty basic: combine apple with sugar in the skillet and stew the mixture until liquid evaporates. That is all! You can use the recipe to make desserts with not only apple but also other fresh fruits and berries. Do not forget to add any type of nuts for crunchiness and cinnamon for aroma. If you are contemplating whether you can use flatbread or not for the recipe. Do not hesitate; it fits perfectly. Only make sure to use the plain version with no additional flavors.

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.
