Preparation Steps
1
Peel the apples, grate or slice them thinly, then mix with the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla sugar, and lemon juice. Let it sit for 10 minutes to release its juices.
2
Drain the apple juice to prevent the strudel from becoming soggy during baking.
3
Lay out the strudel dough sheets on a clean kitchen towel and brush each one with melted butter. Stack 2-3 sheets on top of each other for a more stable structure.
4
Sprinkle the center of the strudel dough with breadcrumbs, then evenly spread the prepared apple filling on top.
5
Using the kitchen towel, carefully roll up the strudel and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6
Brush the top of the strudel with beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden-brown color during baking.
7
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30-35 minutes, until the strudel is golden brown and crispy.
8
Let it cool slightly, then sprinkle with powdered sugar to taste and serve.
