Ingredients
For Toaster Strudel
- 2 baking apples, peeled and cored
- 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp. flour
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 cup Caramel
- 1 package puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
For Frosting
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 375°.
- Step 2Prepare filling: Grate one apple on the large side of a box grater. Squeeze out excess juices (don’t dry out completely, but the apple shouldn’t be dripping). Dice other apple into very small (about 1/8") chunks.
- Step 3Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, then add grated and diced apple and stir to coat. Add flour, cinnamon, and salt and cook over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Add caramel and cook for another 5 minutes, until thick and syrupy; let cool before using.
- Step 4On a well-floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a large 10”-x-14” rectangle. Using a pizza cutter or very sharp knife, cut rectangle in half lengthwise, creating two 5”-x-14” rectangles. Cut each into four equal rectangles.
- Step 5Place one heaping tablespoon caramel apple mixture in the middle of four rectangles of puff pastry. Brush the other four rectangles of puff pastry with beaten egg using a pastry brush and lay egg-washed side down on top of filling. Use a fork to seal edges, then make a few holes on top with tines of the fork. Repeat with other sheet of puff pastry.
- Step 6Bake strudels on a parchment-lined baking sheet; let cool 15 minutes before serving.
- Step 7Make icing: In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Transfer to a plastic bag or piping bag and drizzle on toaster strudels just before serving. (Strudels are best served warm; reheat for a few minutes in a toaster oven if desired.)
