Preparation Steps
1
Peel the oranges and dice them into small pieces or slices. If desired, grate a little orange zest into the filling for extra flavor.
2
In a skillet, toast the breadcrumbs with half of the butter until lightly golden brown. Set aside to cool.
3
Combine the diced oranges with the sugar and cinnamon. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the oranges to release their juices.
4
Lay out the strudel dough sheets one by one on a clean kitchen towel. Brush each sheet with a little melted butter, then sprinkle with the toasted breadcrumbs.
5
Place the orange filling onto the strudel sheets, then carefully roll them up. Place the rolled strudels into a lightly buttered baking pan.
6
Whisk the egg and brush it over the top of the strudels to give them a beautiful golden-brown color during baking.
7
Bake the strudels in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until nicely browned and crispy.
8
Before serving, let the strudels cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
