apple strudel

I was trying out this gluten free puff pastry I found in the supermarket by Silly Yak and got to say that while it rolls very well, it is nothing like puff pastry, so you can use it to make a pie, but don’t expect layers and laminations like in puff pastry. Filled the strudel with steamed apples, pinenuts and sultanas!

PREPARATION & COOKING TIME: 1 hour

INGREDIENTS for 6 generous slices:

1 pack of Silly Yak puff pastry

750gr apples (6-8 depending on size)

30gr pinenuts

20gr xylithol

100gr sultanas

• peel apples, remove core and cut each quarter into 3 pieces and place apples on a steamer and steam for 5 minutes. they still need to be firm and not cooked and make sure they do not touch or absorb any water or the pastry will become soggy
• in the meantime roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle 30cm x 40cm

• once the apples have cooled down, place apples on the rolled out pastry, top with sultanas and pinenuts

• wet your finger and run it on the edges of the pastry, keep on wetting the finger and run it through the edges
• roll the pastry and seal the edges and tuck the edges in
• I tend to brush coconut milk on top instead of eggs and then sprinkle the xylitol on top
• cook in oven for 40-45 minutes

• cool down then cut into 6 equal slices and serve
