Substitutions To Recipe

Here are a few swaps you can do when making this strawberry strudel recipe.

• Use any flavor of jam or fruit mixture you would like.
• You could also use pie filling in swap for the fruit filling. Try my apple pie filling in these strudels!
• Add a splash of almond extract to icing to give a different flavor.
• Add in some cream cheese for a strawberry cream cheese strudel!

How to Make

Step 1: Preheat the oven and prep the pan. Then cut your puff pastry into 6 rectangles. That will be a total of 12 since you have 2 sheets of puff pastry.

Step 2: Now, you will grab a saucepan and add the strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar and cook over medium heat. Stir often and let it cook 3-4 minutes to break down the berries. Pour in cornstarch to thicken.

Step 3: Remove the strawberries from the heat and spoon some strawberry mixture on 6 of the sheets. Then cover the top with the remaining puff pastries.

Step 4: Crimp edges with a fork, and then bake in the oven as directed.

Step 5: Allow to cool, then mix up the icing, and drizzle over the top of each of the strawberry toaster strudels.

Storing Leftovers

This homemade strawberry toaster strudel is best served fresh and warm. But if you happen to not eat them all store any leftovers in the fridge or the freezer.

To reheat you can toss in a toaster oven if you want to give it a fresh out of the oven texture. Heat till golden brown and warmed through. Be cautious as the filling is super hot.

Expert Tips

• Use any filling you want, and you can use pie filling or jams instead of making your own fruit filling.
• Cut the puff pastry sheets into the same size so they fit on top of each other.
• Allow the frozen pastry to thaw before cutting.
• You can brush with a egg mixture of egg and water, to get the puff pastry rectangles even more golden on top.
• Sprinkle with a coarse sugar for a sweet topping.
• Fold the dough together with a fork to create a crimp. This is going to make sure the filling stays inside as it bakes.

Notes

Filling- If you don’t want to make your own fruit filling reach for pie filling or your favorite jam.

Fruit Center – Don’t overfill the strudels, you want to ensure you can crimp all the edges without the mixture leaking. Or you will end up with a big mess.

Storing – Store any toaster strudels you don’t eat in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Reheat – If you reheat you can do a toaster oven if you want or toaster. If you plan to reheat in the toaster, do not place the glaze on top, or it will burn up and make a mess in the toaster.
