Can I also make these apple strudel knots with ready-made pudding?

Yes, that's definitely possible. It gives a slightly different taste and texture, but it works just fine.

Which apples are best suited?

Preferably use firm apples such as Jonagold, Elstar or Granny Smith.

Do I need to bake the apples beforehand?

No, they'll cook in the oven. For a softer filling, you can sear them briefly.

Can I make this recipe without raisins?

Sure, replace them with chopped nuts, cranberries or just leave them out.

How can I store this dish?

In the refrigerator: package airtight for up to 3 days, warm up in the oven for crispiness. In the freezer: up to 2 months, thaw and reheat at 180°C for 5-7 minutes. Reheating: always in the oven, never in the microwave to maintain the crispy structure.

Make it veggie!

This recipe is already vegetarian. If you'd like to make it completely plant-based, use plant-based puff pastry, pastry cream made with soy milk or almond milk, and brush the knots with a little plant-based milk instead of egg yolk.

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Make the pastry cream and let cool completely.

Place one sheet of puff pastry on a baking tray lined with baking paper and brush with the pastry cream.

Peel the apples, remove the core and cut into fine cubes. Divide them evenly over the cream.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and divide the raisins over it.

Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top. Cut strips of approximately 2 cm wide with a pizza roller or dough cutter.

Take one strip at a time and twist it around your fingers into a knot. Place the buttons on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Brush the knots with dorure. Sprinkle with almond shavings and a little icing sugar.

If desired, place a blueberry on each button.

Bake the apple strudel knots in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

Let cool briefly and sprinkle again with icing sugar for a festive finish.

Tips

You can also fill the buttons with some chopped nuts or cranberries for extra bite.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
Use a mix of sweet and slightly sour apples for a fresh taste.
