The Method

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, raisins, breadcrumbs, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well.
3
On a lightly floured surface, gently unfold the puff pastry sheet.
4
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
5
Starting from one long side, carefully roll up the puff pastry into a log shape. Pinch the seam to seal.
6
Brush the top of the strudel with melted butter, milk, or egg wash.
7
Place the strudel on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
8
While the strudel is baking, prepare the vanilla sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolks and cornstarch.
9
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. Do not boil.
10
Remove the strudel from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
11
Dust with powdered sugar (optional). Serve warm with the creamy vanilla sauce.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, toast the breadcrumbs in a dry skillet before adding them to the apple mixture.

If the puff pastry becomes too warm and sticky, refrigerate it for a few minutes before continuing.

You can add chopped nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, to the apple mixture for added texture and flavor.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.

To prevent the bottom of the strudel from becoming soggy, you can sprinkle some breadcrumbs or almond flour on the puff pastry before adding the apple filling.
