Instructions

Make the Apple Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, cook butter, apples, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, apple pie spice, and salt until apples are soft.

Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened.

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and cool completely.

Make the Cinnamon Filling

In a bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Set aside.

Assemble the Strudels

Roll puff pastry into a 20×9-inch rectangle. Cut into 16 equal rectangles.

Spoon cinnamon filling and apple filling onto half of the rectangles.

Top with remaining rectangles. Seal edges with a fork.

Bake

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).

Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.

Bake for 17–20 minutes, until golden and puffed.

Glaze & Finish

Whisk all glaze ingredients until smooth.

Drizzle glaze over warm strudels and serve.

Notes

Let fillings cool fully before assembling to prevent leaks.

Store-bought puff pastry works great for a quicker version.

Freeze unbaked strudels and bake straight from frozen (add 2–3 minutes).

Best enjoyed warm, but leftovers keep well for 2 days.
