Cinnamon Plum Strudel

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Strudel is the crown of Hungarian Sundays. Juicy plums release tons of liquid while baking, which would soak the dough if not for a secret weapon: breadcrumbs (or walnuts). This layer absorbs the precious, spiced fruit juice and keeps the thin pastry layers crisp.

Ingredients

  • Pastry brush

Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat
⚠️ Egg
⚠️ Tree Nut (if using walnuts)

Instructions

1 ✓

Quarter the plums and toss with lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.

Tip: Lemon juice brightens plum flavor and color.
2 ✓

Roll out dough. Sprinkle the middle strip (where filling goes) thickly with breadcrumbs.

Tip: This is the 'insulation layer' protecting the dough from sogginess.
3 ✓

Pile plums onto crumbs. Fold over two dough edges, press ends to seal.

Tip: Place seam-side down on baking sheet so it doesn't open.
4 ✓

Prick top with fork (steam vent) and brush with beaten egg.

Tip: Egg makes it shiny and golden.
5 ✓

Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Let cool to lukewarm before slicing.

Tip: If cut hot, filling flows out.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the strudel crack?
You put too much filling in, or rolled it too tight. Steam needs room!
