Method

  1. Mix the ingredients for the filling together in a bowl. Set the oven to fairly hot, 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6).
  2. Divide the pastry into four piles of six sheets.
  3. Take one pile of sheets and butter each sheet, piling them on top of each other again. Spoon a quarter of the filling along the longer edge of the buttered pastry. Roll it up tightly.
  4. Put onto a heavy baking sheet and slash the top at 2.5cm (1in) intervals. Brush with melted butter. Make three more strudel rolls.
  5. Bake for about 30 mins until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack, sprinkling with icing sugar while still warm. Leave to cool a little. Serve with cream if you like.
Top Tip for making Apple and marzipan strudel
