The birthplace of this wonderful pie is Austria. Initially, strudel was prepared using a milk-cream filling, but later it was replaced with fruit and curd filling. But first, I decided to describe in detail the step-by-step recipe with a photo of the most delicious classic strudel with cherries.

Kitchen appliances: oven.

Ingredients

How to choose the right ingredients

Depending on the season, cherries can be used fresh or frozen. You can buy puff pastry for strudel ready-made if you don’t want to bother, or you can make it yourself.

Puff pastry for strudel

Ingredients

• Flour – 200 g;
• Butter or margarine – 200 g;
• Water – 150 ml;
• Lemon juice or vinegar – 1 tsp;
• Salt - to taste.

1. Pour the flour into a wide bowl or onto the table. In order for the mixture of flour and butter (margarine) to become as homogeneous as possible, it is best to grate the pre-chilled butter and directly into the flour.

2. Now the resulting mass needs to be mixed carefully.

3. Then you need to combine the remaining ingredients for the dough: cold water, lemon juice (vinegar) and salt.
4. Pour this solution into the mixture of flour and butter and mix until you get a soft and elastic dough.
5. Form it into a ball, cover with cling film or a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator to cool.

6. After 30 minutes you will have puff pastry ready to use!

Recipe for cherry strudel made from puff pastry

1. First, let's start with the filling. It is not necessary to separate the cherries from the juice, if any has formed - the breadcrumbs will absorb excess moisture. Combine cherries, sugar and starch, mix it all.
   Did you know? Optionally, you can include any of the following, such as chopped walnuts or almonds, and adding a little cinnamon will give your dessert a special spicy flavor. Also, 3-4 tablespoons of cognac or liqueur will not harm the strudel - such an additive will make its taste unique!

2. We take our dough and unfold it. To make it more convenient to roll the roll, it is much better if there is baking paper under the dough. If it is homemade, then roll out the ball of dough to a thin layer, being careful not to tear it. Brush the dough with melted butter, slightly moving away from the edges. Important! The indentations are made so that at the next stage, when joining the edges, the dough sticks together well.[/wpmfc_cab_sd]

3. Now sprinkle the layer with breadcrumbs and place the finished filling on top. Next, carefully roll it all into a roll and pinch the edges so that the filling does not leak out.
   Did you know? If you are not sure that you will be able to roll the roll without tearing the dough, the rolled out layer can be divided into two parts so that one is slightly smaller than the other. The crackers and filling are laid out on the smaller part, everything is covered with the second part, the edges are pinched.

4. Place baking paper on a baking sheet, place the resulting product on top and brush with beaten egg to form a shiny golden crust when baking. Place the baking sheet in an oven already preheated to 200 ºC for 20-30 minutes.

5. Place the finished strudel on a plate, sprinkle with powdered sugar, cut and serve!

Cherry puff pastry strudel

In the original version, cherry strudel is baked from stretch dough, the preparation of which requires a certain skill and, of course, a supply of free time. But busy housewives have long been using a lazy recipe for such a dessert, which involves preparing a delicacy from puff pastry.

Classic recipe for strudel with cherries made from ready-made puff pastry

Ingredients:

• puff pastry without yeast – 495 g;
• flour – 35 g;
• pitted cherries – 495 g;
• sugar – 110 g;
• breadcrumbs – 85 g;
• walnuts or almonds – 85 g;
• corn starch – 30 g;
• peasant butter – 45 g;
• small chicken egg - 1 pc.

Preparation

Twenty minutes before cooking, remove the finished puff pastry from the freezer and let it thaw. Now, on a surface dusted with flour, roll out the layer as thin as possible and coat it with melted butter along the entire perimeter. Now we crush the dough with breadcrumbs and crushed nuts, stepping back about a centimeter from the edges.

Rinse the cherries, let them dry and remove the seeds. Place the berries in a bowl, add starch and mix. Now we spread them evenly over the entire surface of the rolled out and oiled puff pastry, crush it with granulated sugar and roll the product into a roll. We carefully pinch the edges and place the workpiece on a baking sheet, having previously covered it with a piece of parchment.

We prick the product on top in several places with a toothpick, coat it with beaten egg and place it for baking in an oven preheated to 210 degrees. After fifteen minutes, remove the finished strudel onto a dish and let it cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve, dividing the delicacy into portions.

Strudel made from ready-made puff pastry with frozen cherries and apples

Ingredients:

• puff pastry dough – 495 g;
• flour – 35 g;
• frozen pitted cherries – 295 g;
• fresh apples – 170 g;
• ground cinnamon – 5-10 g;
• sugar – 110 g;
• breadcrumbs – 85 g;
• chopped nuts – 85 g;
• peasant butter – 45 g;
• small chicken egg - 1 pc.

Preparation

In this case, to prepare strudel we will take ready-made yeast puff pastry. As in the previous recipe, defrost it in advance and roll it out as thin as possible.

We also prepare the filling in advance. Thaw the cherries, place them in a colander and let the juice drain. We rinse the apple fruits with cool water, remove the skins and cores with seeds, and cut the pulp into small cubes. Place the resulting apple mass in a saucepan, pour in a little water and simmer the fruit for five minutes, stirring. Now add granulated sugar and cinnamon, throw in the thawed cherries without syrup and remove from heat. After the filling has cooled, we begin to decorate the strudel. We butter the rolled out layer with melted peasant butter, crush it with breadcrumbs and nuts, and also spread the prepared filling of cherries and apples around the entire perimeter. We tuck the slightly long edges of the workpiece and one short one and then roll the product into a roll, starting from the unturned edge.

Coat the strudel blank with a little beaten egg, pierce the top with a toothpick in several places and place it in a preheated oven for further cooking. This time the temperature of the device should be at 180 degrees. As soon as the product is browned, remove it to a plate, cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar and can be served by cutting the delicacy into portioned slices.

It’s very tasty if you add cherry strudel on a plate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

What are these strudels served with?

Sweet strudel is served hot with vanilla ice cream and washed down with tea or coffee with milk. Instead of ice cream, you can use whipped cream or chocolate syrup.

Possible other preparation and filling options

Strudel can be more than just sweet! It turns out that it can be prepared with potatoes, meat or sausage. And finally: I also advise you to read the recipes “Shortcake with cherries” and “Pie with cherries and sour cream filling.”
Just lick your fingers! We also have a very convenient and useful device in our house, so due to the workload of the stove and oven, I sometimes cook “Cherry Pie in a Multicooker.” And our family also loves to enjoy grandma’s “Pie with cherries made from puff pastry” and “Pie with cottage cheese and cherries.” She periodically replaces the fillings, which makes her desserts no less tasty. I wish you good luck and bon appetit!

Firstly, it turned out that it was not difficult at all. And most importantly, it’s incredibly delicious. Be sure to prepare it.

Cherry puff pastry strudel, cherry strudel

Total cooking time: 45 minutes

Servings: 8-10

Ingredients:

• — cherry (1 kg);
• — puff pastry without yeast (400 g);
• - granulated sugar (150-200 g);
• - breadcrumbs (100 g);
• - walnuts (50 g);
• - raisins (100 g);
• - yolk of 1 egg;
• - vanilla sugar (1 sachet).

3.1

I confess, I bought the dough for strudel with cherries ready-made. I wanted to make pizza, but a sweet dessert turned out to be more desirable. So, I bought ready-made puff pastry. First of all, defrost it. We also defrost the cherries in a colander to drain excess moisture. Chop the nuts. Now we are all ready. The fun begins.

Let's start rolling out the dough. It is most convenient to do this on a rag towel sprinkled with flour.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Some people recommend stretching with your hands along with a towel. This technique was not useful to me - I did it just fine using a rolling pin. Roll out very carefully so as not to tear. Ideally, the strudel layer should be 2 mm thick.

So, the “playpen” is ready. Prepare raisins, chopped walnuts and breadcrumbs. If desired, add vanilla sugar or vanilla.

Place the cherries on the dough, leaving free space around the edges. In this case, I left too much free dough, 2 centimeters is enough. We also add raisins, walnuts, and crackers. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top.

Another flaw - too few cherries. I had one package of frozen cherries (400 g). You need to take at least 2 times more. And you need to defrost until the end, so that all the excess water drains away. The best way is to place the cherries in a colander, place it over a saucepan and leave overnight.

Carefully roll up the strudel.

Pinch the edges and place in the pan on baking paper. Brush with egg:

And sprinkle a little sugar.

Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 200 degrees.

Serve the cherry strudel hot, or with a scoop of ice cream. You can do it just like that. Divine taste.
