Something magical happens when you combine fruit, flour, sugar, and cinnamon; wrap it up in puffed pastry, and then pop it in the oven.
Cherry Strudel
Description
This cherry strudel is incredibly easy to make. With a flaky pastry and sweet-tart cherries, it's all but irresistible.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Defrost the puff pastry according to package directions. (It takes approximately 30 minutes to defrost one sheet)
Â
-
Preheat the oven to 375° F
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, toss the cherries with the lemon juice, then add them to the dry mixture.
-
Gently toss until the cherries are well-coated, then set aside.
-
Unfold the puff pastry and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface to approximately 11 x 15 inches.
-
Spoon the cherry mixture out onto the dough in a line down the middle.
-
Fold one edge over the cherries, then take the opposite side and fold it over—tucking in the ends.
-
Brush the top of the strudel with the melted butter, then sprinkle generously with sugar.
-
Use a serrated knife to make several diagonal slashes along the top of the strudel, then carefully transfer the strudel to a Baking Sheet that's been lined with Parchment Paper.
Â
-
Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until the top is golden. Allow the strudel to cool for 20-30 minutes before slicing.
