Preparation Steps
1
Peel and grate the apples into a bowl. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon, then mix well.
2
In a separate bowl, mash the sweetened chestnut puree and mix in the ground walnuts for an even richer filling.
3
Lay out the strudel leaves and brush each one individually with melted butter to ensure a crispy strudel.
4
Sprinkle a thin layer of breadcrumbs over the buttered leaves; this will absorb any moisture from the filling.
5
Evenly distribute the apple mixture and the chestnut-walnut filling along the edge of the strudel leaves, then carefully roll them up.
6
Place the prepared strudels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush the tops with melted butter to achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
7
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the strudels are golden brown.
8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
