Apple Cinnamon Strudel

👨‍🍳 Method

For the Pastry Filling

1. 1
   In a bowl, mix the fruit, sugar, raisins, cinnamon, walnuts and breadcrumbs.

   💡Mix just before filling: the sugar draws juice out of the fruit, and a filling that sits for long makes the dough soggy.

To assemble

1. 2
   Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2. 3
   Lay the filling along the dough, close to the edge, and roll up into a tight log.

   💡Roll tightly and leave a clear border at the far edge: a loose log opens in the oven, and the filling escapes.
3. 4
   Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced apart, and brush with beaten egg.

   💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
