Ingredients:
- 2 Granny Smith apples (peel and core, cut into 0.5 cm thick slices, then crosswise into 0.5 cm pieces, mix with lemon juice)
- 2 ripe peaches (peel, pit and cut into 0.5cm slices, then crosswise into 0.5cm thick pieces.)
- 3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 0.5 l of raspberries
- 4 tbsp (60 g) butter
- Grated zest and juice of 1 fresh lemon
- 1/3 cup white raisins
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup wheat flour
Pie base:
- 2 sheets puff pastry (this is often sold in 480-510g packages and contains 2 square sheets of puff pastry, 23 or 25cm in size.)
- 8 tbsp (110 g or 1/2 cup) melted butter
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tbsp. l. apricot jam
Preparation:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the apples. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they begin to caramelize. Add the lemon zest and juice, peaches, walnuts, raisins, and cinnamon and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and flour, remove from heat, and gently fold in the raspberries. Let cool to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
While the fruit is preparing, roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Spread a small amount of the fruit mixture on the dough and begin rolling it into a log, brushing it with butter after each turn and sprinkling with a little sugar as you roll.
If using 2 sheets of dough, make 2 strudel rolls. Spread each roll with apricot jam, place on a baking sheet, and bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely and serve. (Best served the same day.)
